STAINED GLASS ART WEEKEND


 

What's It Include?

Requires a three-night stay at Aire Castle Inn. "Weekend" can be any three consecutive nights of the week, holidays excluded. Local students may make other arrangements.

 

The Weekend Stained Glass Weekend includes both the Beginner and Intermediate Courses with private training during each session. No "classroom" environments here!

 

For weekend Workshops, the estimated value of the stained glass pieces you take home far exceeds the cost of the Workshop fee and may equal the cost of your B&B expenses, depending on your choice of pattern for the intermediate project and the quality of your work.

 

Students will be allowed additional shop time to complete any projects that are a part of the courses at no additional charge. Aire Castle wants each student to learn and complete every aspect of each class.

 

FOR ONE PERSON:
Full Three-Night Weekend Stained Glass Workshop Retreat - $120.00 plus room rate
(Includes Both Beginner & Intermediate Workshops for One Person)
(Guest stays three nights at Aire Castle)

 

FOR TWO PEOPLE::
Full Three-Night Weekend Stained Glass Workshop Retreat - $175.00 plus room rate

Additional Package Options & Notes

+ + +

Aire Castle Stained Glass Art will order a complete portable shop and glass assortment for you at our wholesale & shipping costs, plus delivery expenses. (This is a one-time offer.)  Our professional guidance will give you the best tool choices so that you will have only what you really need and not waste your money on cheap, or fancy tools that only sit on your shelves to gather dust.

Students have a choice to use bevel clusters in the Intermediate Class in their larger project.  Cost of the clusters plus shipping charges are added to the total cost of lessons.  Go to www.delphiglass.com to click on "Bevel Clusters" to see selections.

Costs of tools, equipment, glass and supplies are constantly changing.  Estimated cost of setting up (purchasing) your Portable Stained Glass Workshop must be calculated at the time of placing the order for those items, to include shipping costs.  These costs may vary.  Aire Castle does not make a profit from this service to students. 

Aire Castle Stained Glass Art will save you approximately 30% to 45% off normal retail on tools & supplies, and 25% to 35% on glass orders.

Our recommended "Portable Basic Stained Glass Work Shop", tools & supplies currently run about $650.00 at retail, but about $500.00 at our wholesale cost, saving at least $150.00.  (Purchases depend upon student's choices.) (May 2008 prices - shipping extra)

Aire Castle recommends that students invest in a Glass Art Saw for intricate cuts and seriously pursuing Stained Glass Art.


Janice Harris and Mike work on the "Prayer Couple" project for Heartland Worship Center.  This is the cement/putty step of the Lead Came method of Stained Glass Art.

Aire Castle teaches this method as a separate class.  Call to inquire.
