UrbanGlass Stained Glass 101: Make an Abstract Panel, Nov. 7–8
A limit of 20 glass pieces gives UrbanGlass’s Stained Glass 101 a practical design brief: shape an abstract composition that can be completed as a panel within the two-session course. Students can devise their own design or use a supplied pattern, with color, opacity and texture all part of the choices they make.
A compact panel, with room for an original design
The finished work can measure up to 7.5 by 9 inches and use no more than 20 pieces of glass. UrbanGlass recommends simple, bold geometric or organic forms for the two-day format; students may also work from a provided pattern rather than start with an original design.
The piece limit and modest dimensions are part of the project’s structure, not just specifications: they give students a defined scale for making decisions and completing a panel. The class description says each student will leave with a finished stained-glass piece.

Choose glass for what light does through it
As students develop a design, they consider how color, opacity and texture affect light passing through the glass. That attention to material steers the assignment toward abstraction: the composition can be geometric or organic without needing to depict a recognizable subject.
UrbanGlass’s broader stained-glass program places the medium in a long history of decorative panels using imagery and colored light to convey stories. This class takes a more abstract approach, concentrating on the relationships among shape, color and transmitted light.

Four techniques feed one finished project
Instructor Jessica Black introduces glass cutting, grinding, copper foiling and soldering. The teaching combines demonstrations with hands-on practice, and students apply the techniques as they work toward the same panel rather than completing unrelated exercises.
The class is designed for beginners, with no previous experience required; intermediate students are also welcome. UrbanGlass’s listing identifies this as one of its stained-glass offerings, alongside longer classes and other formats, but this November edition is specifically a two-session introduction to abstraction.
