Plenty of supplies and people to help the beginner and expert. I have been in multiple times and never left disappointed.

This is a great place for the stained glass hobbyist, it has a little bit of everything you'll need to start or finish a project you're working on. The staff was friendly and willing to help and made me feel welcome to look around as they worked on their own projects. They have sheets of glass and if you just need a smaller piece they have those too. Bins of glass pieces for less than a dollar. Now that I have another project I have in mind I am definitely going back. read more

Took my stained glass for repair. They said to comeback in a week and repair will charge me $200. Came back in three different times and they had not repaired it. After almost 5 months they finally texted me to pick it up. Once there, they wanted to charge me $250. They never said they will going to charge me $50 dollars extra. I waited almost 5 months for the repair. The least they could had done was to apologize for the delay or even give a discount. I paid them the $200. read more

Stained Glass Instruction & Design - Took almost 5 months for this repair. - Art Classes Near Me - Antioch, California

This place is the best! The owners, Kathi and Rich are great instructors, willing to help you not only by teaching you, but also by working with you and coming up with ideas on how to make any project possible. I don't understand the person that gave them a one-star review. He is clearly out of touch with reality. This business is not only a teaching studio, it also does amazing repair jobs, which take time. Quality is one of the things that you can count on from Stained Glass Instruction and Design. Sorry Luis, it seems that you wanted mediocre work at a discount rate, and what you got was excellent work at a fair price. read more

Stained Glass Instruction & Design is well stocked with everything and anything a stained glass enthusiast could need. The owners, Kathy & Rich, also offer classes for a reasonable fee. They provide the glass and the use of all the tools and equipment needed to create three projects. The class is fun, it spans several weeks and a person who wishes to learn stained glass does not have to make an investment in tools or glass which is a plus. I am currently attending their weekly studio night for persons who have completed the class and wish to continue making stained glass projects. For a nominal fee I get their expertise and help plus the use of all the needed tools and equipment. Kathy and Rich are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond in their services even helping to make patterns and frames. It is a great place!! read more

This shop restored my desire to do stained glass. I was going to a stained glass class at a JC and the teacher had no clue. It was not good. I was told there was a shop in Antioch that taught the art of doing stained glass. I was very impressed with the owner/teacher. Found out she was certified by one of best known stain glass artists in the United states. I took her classes and have been going to her ever since. She is very generous with her knowledge and will go above and beyond to help you with your projects. The shop carries a wide variety of materials. If there's something you need and they don't have it, they will do what it takes to get it for you. I would highly recommend Stained Glass Instruction & Design to anyone interested in learning stained glass. read more
