Tyler Kimball owns and operates Monarch Glass Studio in Kansas City, Missouri where he creates mouth-blown sheet glass, bulls-eye panes, and rondels for stained glass artists around the world. In addition, he makes unique glass installations of his own design for public and commercial spaces. His aim is always to use light and furnace formed glass to enhance the environment in which it is installed. Kimball’s accolades include AIA and CODA awards for his installations.

Working with glass since 1999, Kimball began in stained glass, but soon ventured into blown, kiln-formed, and cold-worked glass as well. He has been invited by universities, colleges, and other educational institutions around the world to be a visiting artist, and truly enjoys sharing his techniques and knowledge with the next generation of glass artists.

In addition to running Monarch Glass Studio, Kimball is the Head of the Glass Department at Belger Arts in Kansas City, Missouri and also sits on the board of the Stained Glass Association of America. He cares about community and the longevity of quality craftsmanship as well as the progression of technique and creativity within the realm of glass art.

Creating truly unique stained glass requires standout, one-of-a-kind glass.

In this class, you will learn how to create blown glass works for specific use in stained glass panels. Covering mouth-blown sheet glass, rondels, and hand-pressed pieces, you will not only learn how to best make work in the hot shop but also adapt copper foil and lead channel to fit with the unique pieces.

You will create blown glass pieces and assemble them into copper foil and leaded panels in this five-day course touching upon all the aspects of making stained glass work with uniquely made blown glass.

Never design around glass available off the shelf at the local stained glass supply store again. Truly make your own stained glass, by making it hot!

Some experience in either stained glass or glassblowing is suggested, but there is no expectation for every student to have experience in both.
