INSTRUCTOR
Steve Shapiro originally an Illinois resident moved to the Jasper area four years ago via Hilton Head South Carolina, where he learned the art of Stainglass. A plumber/business owner by trade, started creating Stainglass art eight years ago. As a plumber, working with solder on a daily basis, stain glass art came very easy to him. He enjoys all forms of glass art, including foil, lead came and fused glass. His design ideas come from the world around him, but mostly prefers nature and animals.
