Workshop guests begin with a template scaled to the project so they can focus on shape transitions, color balance, and how individual pieces will read once sunlight passes through them.
From there, instructors guide each step of scoring, breaking, grinding, copper foiling, soldering, and finishing so the final piece feels deliberate, sturdy, and ready to hang or frame.
Color-led design help
Choose opalescent, cathedral, and textured glass with guidance on contrast, glow, and room placement.
Tool confidence
Learn cutting and soldering technique in a paced format built for first-timers and careful repeat practice.
Light-aware finishing
Design pieces that shift throughout the day instead of looking flat once they leave the bench.
Built for jewel-tone glass, patient instruction, and pieces worth keeping on display
What people remember after seeing their piece lit for the first time
The instruction was calm and exact. My first sun catcher actually looked polished, and the color choices made even more sense once I brought it home.
We commissioned a narrow entry panel for our old house and the studio translated the architecture into something bright without feeling too ornate.
Our private workshop worked beautifully for a team event because everyone could customize a pattern while still learning the same process together.
Commission glass pieces for entryways, shelves, and rooms that need color without clutter
Lumen Pane Studio creates hanging panels, cabinet inserts, sidelights, and small architectural pieces for homeowners, boutiques, and hospitality spaces that want a more personal source of color and pattern.
Each project starts with dimensions, placement notes, and a conversation about privacy, sunlight direction, and style so the finished panel feels integrated with the space rather than simply decorative.
Simple ways to try the craft or plan a finished panel
Workshops include shared tools and starter materials, while commissions are scoped after a short design consultation and dimension review.
