Back by popular demand, we are again hosting a “garden stake” stained glass class taught by local artist Patty Valoe. This 2-day class focuses on the “Tiffany” approach to stained glass. It is encouraged that participants have some past experience working with stained glass. This class involves cutting glass, grinding, and soldering. You will be provided with sample patterns and will be able to choose from a variety of opalescent, transparent, and textured glass in a variety of colors to create your masterpiece. Please bring protective gloves (cloth) and a lunch/drink. Protective eyewear & masks will be provided.

Instructor bio: Patty Valoe is an avid stained glass artist whose interest in stained glass started 40 years ago. This interest took a backseat while she worked full-time and raised her family but since retiring in 2018, designing and making stained glass creations has taken center stage. Her projects have included Tiffany style lamps, windows, window hangings, and many Christmas ornaments. Patty moved to the UP full-time in March 2022, and has focused on sharing her enthusiasm for stained glass on projects for family and friends. She is looking forward to teaching others to experience the craft she loves.
