Stained Glass
About
A three-hour weekly stained glass class for adults 18 and up, offered Wednesdays from 2 to 5 pm or 5:30 to 8:30 pm, and Thursdays from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. Classes meet at the West Side YMCA, 5 West 63rd Street, near the 1/A/B/C/D at 59 St–Columbus Circle and the 1 at 66 St–Lincoln Center. The six-week Fall II block (Nov 2–Dec 20) is $280 for members or $340 for program members, and Winter (Jan 4–Feb 28) is $325 or $395. It's the only multi-week stained glass course in Manhattan on our calendar; the closest comparisons we list are Bronx River Art Center's adult term ($270) and Art Lab's Stained Glass Techniques on Staten Island ($400).

New to glass?
Glass classes split into fused glass (cutting and layering sheet glass that is melted in a kiln), stained glass (cut pieces joined with copper foil and solder) and hot glass (blowing or flameworking at a furnace or torch).
- Closed-toe shoes and natural-fibre clothing for hot-glass sessions; studios provide eye protection.
- Fused and stained glass suit a first visit. Glassblowing tasters are short and guided closely.
- Hot-glass classes are small and sell out first, especially before holidays.
Taking it home: Rarely on the day. Fused pieces go back in the kiln and blown glass cools overnight, so expect to collect it later or have it shipped.
