ABOUT Workshops are offered on a per request basis and typically for 8 students or more. The determined day & schedule will be worked to accommodate group needs.

Fee is $60 Without the tour the and can be scheduled any day of the week. Allow approximately 4 1/2 hours to complete the sketch with pigment markers outline & pigment paint wash.

Stained Glass ART workshop with the tour: This is scheduled on a weekday to accommodate the Stained Glass Studio business hours. Students provide their own group transportation to Oconomowoc. It is an easy location to find. I take care of all arrangements to the studio and lunch site.

Completed workshop. Morning Schedule:

Where: Brookfield Studio or an agreeable site location. The first half of the workshop which runs from 9am to about 1:30 pm. Selections from the accompanying morning power-point presentation:

What: A workshop where students will complete, in guided quick steps, a frame-able, miniature angel painting (sketch) using the pattern provided:

angel in progress

1. Trace and outline the design in pencil then retrace with a fine pigment marker
2. Fill in the angel design with directed but “loose” splashes of brilliant, transparent paint colors using a small brush.

This window selection is based on an early 20th century, Catholic church photographed in 2015.

The light and colors reflecting through this window are a suburb, more contemporary, example of what the medieval Abbot Suger first hoped that the expansion of colorful, church windows would accomplish : "The noble work is bright, but, being nobly bright, the work should brighten the minds, allowing them to travel through the lights to the true light, where Christ is the true door".

There will be a brief PowerPoint discussing this particular angel sketch and the historical types of windows from which this style originated.

A pleasing activity for all skill levels. The abbreviated, line-work is likely the most challenging and appreciated by students and the free flowing, brush work the most fun!

Open to mature teens and adults. All instruction, no matter what the subject, is based on traditional and historic Christian art teachings and practices.

Afternoon Schedule optional

Students will meet in scenic downtown Oconomowoc for lunch (not included in the fee) and tour an historical stained glass art studio. Students provide their own transportation.

Preliminary sketch work or rendering is something that is done prior to making any full sized pattern. It is the artistic sample presented to clients. If approved, the project moves forward to completion.

Included in the FEE is Bristol paper, archival paints and pen, brush, white custom mat, miscellaneous studio supplies and "know how". Upon registration (below) each student will receive a household supply list (things to bring like a pencil and more).
