Covenant Art Glass

You have some real artistic gems here in Everett. A decade ago I bought one of Stan’s pieces. Unlike almost everything I have purchased in my life, I appreciated and loved it more as time went by. I went back and got another piece… ditto. I love it many years later. Still, a few years later I loved it so much that I commissioned Stan to make 4 windows for a charity I supported. I purchased another piece on eBay and Covenant did some amazing repair work on it. Last month I was compelled to come back and purchase another piece for my son. Stan and his crew have the creative ability to make enduring art that tells a story and elicits emotion and thought. I haven’t taken their classes but if I were inclined to create, I can’t imagine a better group to learn under.

This is a stained glass shop – not a lampworking supply store. I’ve been in a couple times looking for lampworking supplies. The first time I went, they had the basics, but it was clear that the employees didn’t know much about lampworking (when I asked what the COE on the glass was, they had no idea what I was talking about). When I stopped in the other day to get bead release, they said that their one lampworking employee no longer works there and they demonstrated once again that no one knew anything about the supplies they carried. It was under-​supplied, poorly organized and over-​priced. Save yourself the trip – go to Seattle to visit Hot Glass Color, or go to Shelton to Frantz Art Glass. (I also hear there’s a place in Marysville, but I’ve never been.)

I have taken 3 classes with Stan and his crew. They are a wonderful and helpful group. I will defiantly be taking more classes at Covenant Art Glass.

I took the intro to stained glass class at Covenant and fell in love with the place. The class itself met once a week for about 3 hours. During this time, the teacher, the owners, and the regulars were all at our disposal to answer questions as they arose (note: the regulars would offer to help — there wasn’t a stated policy that they were there to help us). There was a wonderful spirit of camaraderie. There were people who clearly had been coming there for years to work on their pieces, and they were all genuinely interested in what the newbies were working on. It made me feel really confident about the work that I was doing to know that I had the support I needed to fix problems should they arise. My final project came out amazing. I was so incredibly proud of what I had created, and know I never would have been able to do it without the support of the community of students and teachers that were there with me. I absolutely plan to do more classes there in the future, and hope to go in often to work on my own projects.
Check out their Tiffany lamp classwork. I feel like that’s WAY above my current ability, but the stuff the students are working on is incredible.

Bought a wine bottle slumping «class» which was a joke. Basically, you bring in a wine bottle, they tell you a little bit about the process of how they are going to slump it, you leave it there and come back to pick it up.
I definitely expected more of a hands-​on learning experience. Very happy I bought my husband and I the class through Groupon and didn’t pay full price for it.
I do want to mention that I am very glad Everett has a glass shop and while I personally won’t be going back I hope they stay in business and do well.
*I went in a time once before looking for a Christmas gift. My budget was $ 50. I picked up a frame and it definitely looked used; scratched and a couple of nicks. Since it was $ 50 (and the only thing I could find that was that «cheap») but had a little wear and tear I asked if they would be willing to bring down the price a little. Definitely not, was the consensus. And while I respect that I am also wondering how they are going to sell products for that much when they already look used?
You can find amazing deals on glass online. Also there are great classes through the college to learn glass blowing etc. There are a myriad of shops if you google outside of Everett. I really like to shop locally but unfortunately do not feel comfortable going back to Covenant.
