Intro to Kinusaiga (29 May 2026)

Fri, 29 May 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Intro to Kinusaiga Class

Curious about the art of Kinusaiga? Kinusaiga is a Japanese art form that uses fabric pieces tucked into a base (no sewing!) to create beautiful, textured designs.

In this beginner-friendly class, led by Katelyn from The Copper Snail, each student will learn the basics and create their own 4x6 sunset-inspired piece to take home. Please note: Framing will need to be done outside the class.

All materials will be provided, but you're welcome to brin your own fabric scraps if you'd like to personalize your piece. (Thinner fabric works best!)

This class is open to adults, 18+ and is restricted to 15 students per class.

Beginner Stained Glass: Vacation Vibes

This 4-hour course offers those interested in learning the art of stained glass an opportunity to learn the basic skills while creating a one-of-a-kind beginner's vacation themed suncatcher. This course is designed for students who have little to no experience with stained glass, but anyone is welcome. Those students who fall in love with this fun art form can then take the skills they learn and expand upon them through more challenging classes or through practice on their own.

Friday, June 19th

6:00-10:00pm

SHAK Members- $55/per person

Non-SHAK Members- $70/per person

*Stained glass workshops are very popular and often fill quickly. Please register only if you plan to attend. Refunds and transfers to a different class date are granted on a very limited, case-by-case basis.*

Students will also have access to our "scrap glass" bins, but if they wish to provide their own stain glass, they should bring it along with them. Students are encouraged to check out the glass available from Kokomo Opalescent Glass, but it can also be purchased at Hobby Lobby or from various websites.

Students ages 12 and older are welcome. Minors must be accompanied by an adult who is willing to assist as needed. The assisting adult may attend at no charge if they are helping the minor only. Adults who wish to create their own piece must register and pay as a student.

Closed-toe shoes are required for all participants.

Prescription glasses or reading glasses are recommended for those with vision needs but are not required.

Students may bring their own safety glasses and gardening or safety gloves (thick, protective gloves—thin plastic gloves are not permitted). These items are optional and only necessary if you prefer not to use the shared safety equipment provided. Safety glasses and gloves are available at most home improvement stores.

Participants are welcome to bring a snack or non-alcoholic beverage or visit Lexis’ next door.
