D&L Art Glass Supply is a full-service glass art studio and teaching center dedicated to hands-on education, materials, and studio access for makers at every level. Located within a creative community, D&L offers an extensive schedule of workshops and open-studio sessions led by nationally recognized artists and experienced instructors. Classes cover fused glass, stained glass, mosaics, vitrigraph, kilnforming, cold working, sandblasting, and specialized techniques like reactive glass and advanced pattern making.
Participants can join single-day introductions, intensive multi-day courses, themed artist residencies, and two-hour open studio sessions. Each class supplies studio tools, equipment, and clear firing schedules, while materials are available for purchase on-site or participants may bring their own. D&L emphasizes safety, accessibility, and artistic growth with small class sizes, step-by-step demonstrations, and one-on-one guidance during hands-on projects. Popular offerings include beginner fusing, mosaic workshops, stained-glass painting and lightbox projects, vitrigraph collaboration, and advanced fused-glass pattern forming. Several guest-led workshops are noted as sold out, reflecting consistent demand and instructor reputations. The studio also supports experimentation with test pieces and sample libraries so artists can learn material behaviors before committing to larger works. D&L maintains professional-grade kilns and cold-working stations and enforces best practices for material compatibility and ventilation. With a track record of offering beginner-friendly entry points alongside advanced technical courses, D&L Art Glass Supply serves hobbyists, emerging artists, and professional makers seeking technical skill, creative support, and reliable studio resources. The studio regularly updates its equipment and publishes clear schedules and materials lists online for students annually.
