Star of Bethlehem Stained Glass Workshop
Saturday, November 7, 2026
10am-noon | Basilica Hall
Join us for a hands-on stained glass workshop in the serene setting of the basilica. In this class, you’ll learn some of the basics of stained glass while creating your own beautifully illuminated Star of Bethlehem.

Guided by Bonnie Faulkner, you’ll design
your star and explore traditional techniques,
including cutting, foiling, and soldering, to
bring your piece to life.

No prior experience is needed, just a love for sacred art and creativity. Whether you’re looking to deepen your connection to devotional art or simply enjoy a peaceful, artistic experience, this class offers a unique opportunity to craft something meaningful.

All materials are provided. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!

Class fee is $35. 

All proceeds go to the Basilica Heritage Center fundraiser.

Bonnie Faulkner, a Maine-based artist, has been showcasing her glasswork throughout New England for over 20 years. Her commissions range from full window and wall installations for residential and commercial spaces to intimate items such as bedside lamps and one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets and earrings. 


Faulkner is a highly unique glass artist in that she frequently combines dichroic fused, hand blown and stained glass into one creation. She finds combining these techniques opens up placement for glass objects in every part of one's home, where even limited lighting accentuates the work. Coupled with her playful mix of figures, forms and faces, each piece becomes highly signature.
Bonnie graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a major in Art Education and minor in Ceramics. She taught art in the public schools for five years. Due to increasing demands for her work, she is now a full time studio artist and guest glass instructor for limited workshops throughout Maine and is affiliated with Haystack, Maine Art Education Association, Maine Glass Arts and Bowdoin College. Figureworks is honored to be the only New York gallery representing her work.
