Part I
About this event
Explore the world of stained glass in this engaging workshop led by local artist Allie Fritsch. Held at the charming Persika Design Co Studio in Bay View, this class is perfect for beginners eager to learn the copper foil method. Over four hours, you'll transform raw materials into a beautiful suncatcher, choosing colors that reflect your personal style.
Allie’s passion for making stained glass accessible shines through as she guides you step-by-step, ensuring you leave with a piece you’re proud of. With all materials included and class sizes kept small, you’ll enjoy plenty of personalized attention. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this workshop offers a creative escape and a chance to tap into your artistic side.
From the organizer
Join coolAFglass at Persika Design Co Studio for a hands-on beginner workshop where you’ll create your very own stained glass flower suncatcher piece from start to finish! This class is designed for beginners, so no prior experience is needed...just come ready to learn something new and leave with something you’re proud of. Over the course of four hours (1PM–5PM), you’ll be guided step-by-step by coolAFglass owner and artist, Allie Fritsch, through the entire stained glass (copper foil method) process—from cutting and grinding to foiling and soldering. You’ll get to pick your own glass colors, so each piece reflects your personal style and creativity. By the end of class, each student will complete a piece that’s perfect for beginners but still looks coolAF. All materials and tools are provided, and class sizes are kept small to ensure plenty of guidance along the way. The workshop will be hosted at Persika Designs Co Studio in Bay View, WI. Spots are limited to 10 per class!

Sweet spot is 3–6 people actively doing the thing together.
