About Circle Studio

Isabel Badalpour has been a respected stained glass instructor for over a decade. Her passion for the craft began at an early age through her father, Joseph Badalpour, the founder of Circle Studio Inc (established in 1975). Under his guidance, Isabel developed a deep appreciation and skill for stained glass, which she now shares with her students.

 ​At the Stained Glass Workshop, students are guided through each step of the creative process. They learn how to break down patterns, choose from a variety of teacher-provided designs, and work with glass by cutting, foiling, and soldering. By the end of the course, students complete their own unique stained glass piece, gaining both confidence and craftsmanship.

  • Beginners Stained Glass Workshop

    The class was a good beginner class - learned the basics. The teacher was really nice and helpful. For somebody just starting out, it is a great introductory course.
