Looking for a Stained Glass Class?

My Winter session at Wilson Community College Morning Class in Wilson, NC still has openings. It starts January 5, 2026 and runs through March 16, 2026. It starts at 10 am and ends at 12:30 pm, no class January 19 for MLK Day.

No tools are needed as the College provides them for classroom use. You would only have to purchase glass, copper foil, solder and zinc came- this all runs between $70 and 100 depending on the type and color of glass you purchase (reds, oranges and yellows are more expensive because they have gold in them).

The First Morning we will cover types of glass, tools and their uses, pattern selection and where you can purchase supplies. Before the second class you will need to get your supplies.

There are 14 patterns to choose from, and all are 12” by 16”, so it is a fair-sized panel to make. I feel if a student is going to invest in the class the piece should be big enough to show for it, not a little suncatcher.

Will you finish the project in class? Yes, if you don’t miss a lot of classes. Most people finish between 7 and 9 weeks. After that you can start smaller project that can be completed before March 16.

You can register for the class at Wilson Community College, here is a link to the Registration Page.

Kim Joy

Kim Steinmuller Joy has been a stained glass artist and teacher since 1982. Most of her pieces are in the traditional style and starting to experiment to incorporate materials not usually found in the medium. She believes that through her pieces she can grow and learn more about the world around her and where she came from. She hopes that her work will inspire and encourage others in their artistic endeavors. She loves working with commissions that allows her to create one of kind pieces for the commissioner.

She belongs to Stained Glass Association of America and National Capital Art Glass Guild. Her work can be found at the Community Council of the Arts in Kinston NC, Arts Council of Wayne County Goldsboro, NC, and Wilson Arts in Wilson, NC. She teaches Nash Community College Nashville, NC, Wilson Community College Wilson NC. Her works are in private collections worldwide.

Kim Steinmuller Joy was raised in upstate New York and now lives and works in Wilson, NC.
