Andrea has EXPERTLY repaired two lamp shades for me. And custom made & matched several stained glass windows as well. One lamp had two missing ‘petals’ from a flower made from stained glass in the late 1800’s. I couldn’t tell the difference between the repaired pieces and the originals- only by her showing me the repair was I able to know. Listen up (sorry Andrea, I know this is a difficult task to do- sorry if my review burdens you with repair work) She had to take an original section out of the leading- make a mold, find the proper glass, and three-dimensionally form the glass over the mold- heated in in a kiln-to replicate the pieces- she is an artisan in the glass medium- I had a hard time believing anyone could even do such a thing. So she works magic with antique lamp-glass repairs, and her work with windows is exceptional. Though I live in Kansas City, the drive to her studio is well worth it and her studio is the only place I will ever go for any custom stained glass...

At least one person in the group is already planning the next project, and I'm thinking when I get a larger place that I'd like to create something more complicated as well.
Denning Stained Glass is worth your time to check out, if only cuz Andrea...
Read moreAndrea is such a great teacher. She is kind, funny, knowledgeable and most of all… patient. My daughter and I took her “Intro to Stained Glass” class (got them as a gift for Christmas!) and really enjoyed ourselves.
At first I was worried about the length of the drive every week - but we live in the northwest Lee’s Summit area and it only takes us 40 minutes door to door.
We are signing up for her 2nd level class: “Beginning Lead Method” and we...
