It starts with one lesson

TLC’s own story began with a lesson from a friend. That first introduction to stained glass grew into a studio, and teaching is still part of why we’re here.

You don’t have to arrive knowing how to make something beautiful. You can arrive curious. There’s a first piece for everyone.
