Learn the Art of Glass,Hands-On
We're excited to introduce you to our Fused Glass Classes for 2026!
At Lea's Loft, we take a personalized approach to teaching. We don't run standard group classes—instead, we customize the training based on each student's individual learning needs, goals, and experience level. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine specific techniques, we tailor the course to you.
One-Day Introductory Course
We recommend starting with our one-day introductory session to get a feel for fused glass and see if it sparks your creativity.
Investment:
-
R300 per hour (excl. VAT) for hands-on training and guidance
-
Plus the cost of glass and kiln firing
-
Total for a basic project: Approximately R3,000 – R3,500
This gives you the opportunity to learn foundational techniques, create your own piece, and take it home once fired.
3½-Day Intensive Course
If the one-day experience inspires you and you want to dive deeper, we offer a 3½-day intensive course that covers a wide range of fusing techniques—from layering and pattern work to advanced textures and design.
Investment:
-
Approximately R15,000 – R20,000 (excl. VAT)
-
Includes all training, glass, and kiln firing costs
-
You'll get to keep all the pieces you create
This course is ideal for those serious about developing their skills and building a strong technical foundation in fused glass.
