Norma Vowels
Beginner & Intermediate Instructor
​
As for many people, I started stained glass as a hobby and fell in love with it. That was over 30 years ago and I became particularly interested in Tiffany style lamps. I opened this store and studio over 27 years ago and have become one of the most premier teaching and supply locations for stained and art glass in the province. I am very proud of what we have accomplished here and find it very rewarding to be able to share my passion for stained glass art with you.
Debbie Hirsch
Intermediate Instructor
Debbie has been with us since 2002 when we first opened this location. Many will know her from her working in the store on Sundays but her many years of experience gives her the skills and knowledge to teach the intermediate classes. Her warm, friendly manner will make you feel welcome.
As a tradition, we've always had Golden Retrievers as Official Greeters at the store. We first had Bayley, then who many of you knew, Maddie. We love Golden's for their friendliness and sweet nature - an excellent choice for such a big job.
​
Well, we now have Stella. She is a confident, strong willed and intelligent pup who will welcome you with enthusiasm, a wagging tail and is always happy to receive belly rubs.
Norma also teaches our Beginners and Intermediate stained glass classes on Saturday and Wednesday mornings and Tuesday nights. Her friendly nature will make you feel at ease as she offers hands-on help with your project. Whether beginner or intermediate, you will learn a lot and have fun creating your own masterpiece under the direction of Norma.
Tresea Partridge
Fused Glass Instructor

Susan Dalrymple
Open Studio and Workshop Instructor
Tresea is an artist who has been involved with the glass medium for over a decade. Her passion started with an introduction to stained glass and she has been in love with it ever since. Her art has moved into the fused glass field and though self taught, she has great experience in many aspects of fused glass work. Her fused glass courses run the gamut from basic to specialized courses and even kids workshops. Her work can be seen the store and she always has a friendly smile, enthusiasm and encouragement for new artists.
Susan has been working in stained glass for over 15 years. She teaches several workshops and is the instructor for Open Studio on Thursdays. Her work with stained glass began with a desire to be creative, but with the disciplined and skilled techniques required for working with glass. “You start with a pattern or idea, and the colours in the glass bring the image to life.” She is an enthusiastic and supportive instructor who really enjoys teaching and seeing students succeed.
