• About the teacher

  Hey folks! 

  My name is Alias Day! Pronounced like uh-lie-as. 

  Thanks so much for signing up for my class. I’ve only been doing glass for a little over two years, but I took to it quickly. I’ve done a ton of commissions already and have plans on expanding and experimenting with the more abstract side of glass art. 

  Make sure you wear comfortable but not loose fitting clothes, closes toed shoes and something to keep hair out of your way if need be. 

  You’ve probably never attempted stained glass before and guess what, I’ve never taught it before! So it’ll be a fun ride for all of us! Glass has been a really wonderful experience and I’m very grateful I get to help y’all make your own pieces over our weekend together.
