We are not a storefront and are by appointment only. While we do carry some supplies for our students we are not a stained glass retailer: here’s a list of local glass shops which stock supplies if that’s what you’re looking for.

About Us
Karen Seymour loves the playing with light that stained glass allows. She passes on her enthusiasm through classes and books. Her naturalistic designs show evidence of both her quilting background and her MS in marine botany. The many years she spent doing computer training show up in her patient instruction of students and in the books she produces. She is currently on the newsletter team of the Pacific Northwest Glass Guild
In 1998, Karen went looking for a table for the back yard. She saw a stone mosaic top at a local garden store and thought “I can do better than that”. Based on some stained glass instruction way back in high school, she made her first table, a 48″ koi pond. Then all her friends and relatives wanted one too. A local glass shop invited her to teach the technique and her books grew out of those instructional materials. In 2013 Karen purchased a kiln to explore new designs which can’t be easily done by the glass appliqué method.
Dick Seymour acts as all around support and as self-described “class heckler”. He retired from managing computer systems for physicists at the University of Washington. His coworkers were people who investigate the universe by smashing things apart — you can imagine what they did to computers. This gives him lots of patience in assisting stained glass students learning to cut glass.
He makes the circuit boards for the lanterns and helps with the metalwork and everything else. His major hobby is astronomy and he spends his spare time on-line assisting Meade Telescope users. His other hobby is travel
