​Hi Friends!
 

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and are happy and healthy. The holiday season is upon us with lots to do and plan. Next on the list for us at the studio is the 2025 Holiday Glass Sale (see postcard below) on Saturday, December 13th and Sunday, December 14th. It's a great way to get a jump on shopping and helping to support the arts. On Friday evening, December 12th we are having a preview fundraising night to benefit Greater Boston Glassworks, our collective group of artists with the eventual goal of finding a new home to pursue glass arts. Very exciting venture and the preview night gives you access for first choice of the bargains in the Holiday Sale. Well worth the $25 donation.  

​

Also check out my updated For Sale Gallery for new items. I haven’t renewed it in a while so lots of new windows have been added.   
 
My next set of classes will begin the week of January 5th and once again, I am limiting all class sizes to six students so we maintain some distancing and I can give students extra attention. And as in the past few years, our studio building still has a vaccine mandate in place for anyone coming into the studio for classes or glass blowing, so please make sure you are up to date!  Our last set of classes was a smashing success with students creating an amazing variety of windows.   

​

I will again offer a Beginner I ~ Intro to Stained Glass class on Monday (SOLD OUT) and Thursday nights.  It's the best class to reinforce your skills if you have only taken one or two classes. We will limit the number of pieces in your project to 18 pieces so you will be able to finish. And I’m going to be strict in limiting the complexity and number of pieces this session.  

​

Tuesday night will offer the return of  Beginner I ~ Stained Glass With Fused Glass Elements. It’s a great class for students who have already taken my Beginner I class and are ready to take a step up. I will jury acceptance into the class because we won’t be doing any basic instruction on cutting or the other fabrication skills.    
 
Wednesday night's Beginner MM ~ Makers Mayhem in Stained Glass class will require a bit of experience so it will be open only to students who have taken several classes from me. I will pull out lots of nontraditional materials for students to use, chandelier prisms, found glass objects, remnants of old church windows and whatever crazy glass stuff I have collected over the years. It's a really fun way to create something completely unique in the stained glass world. Students in the Makers Mayhem class can use any of the techniques they have used in previous projects including fusing and photo imaging.

​

Find more information about these class offerings on my Classes website page. 
 
I look forward to seeing old friends and welcoming newbies into the stained glass adventure!

Dan Maher​
