The Saint Flower Stained Glass Basic Course by the Flower of Crystal Art Academy is now being relaunched.
This course, which we have been offering for many years, has been thoughtfully renewed to make it accessible to even more people.
Today, I would love to share this special announcement with you.
Saint Flower Stained Glass is an original design developed by the Flower of Crystal Art Academy, combining pastel art with stained glass techniques.
“I love the beauty of stained glass, but it feels difficult to prepare all the professional tools…”
In response to voices like these, we created this lesson so that anyone can easily express the world of stained glass using pastels.
Because no glass is used, the artworks are lightweight and unbreakable.
What makes this art form so unique is the harmony between the translucent, light-filled effect and the gentle softness of pastel colors.
Once completed, each piece brings a soft and graceful light into your space.
What’s New in This Renewal — Three Key Updates
With this renewal, we have carefully refined the course in three significant ways.
1. Simplified Materials — Only What Is Truly Necessary
We have received many comments, especially from those living overseas, about the difficulty of obtaining certain materials.
In this renewal, we have thoughtfully selected only the essentials. This reduces the preparation barrier, allowing even beginners to start with ease and confidence.
2. Accessible Worldwide — Use Materials Available in Your Country
Previously, it was necessary for us to ship materials from Japan.
Now, the course has been redesigned so that you can participate using materials available in your own country or region. We hope this makes it much easier for our international students to begin.
Of course, if certain materials are still difficult to obtain, we will continue to offer support as before.
3. Refined Techniques — Structured for Clarity and Ease
We have reorganized the techniques into a clearer, more intuitive sequence.
Processes that once felt a little complex have been simplified, creating a natural connection between “understanding” and “creating.”
The course now offers a gentle and supportive flow, making it easy for beginners to follow step by step.
This Course Is Designed for You
Those who are already learning pastel art and would like to explore new forms of expression
Those who run their own classes and wish to add a new piece to their menu
Those who are new to pastels but would like to enjoy them in a coloring-like, relaxing way
Those living overseas who have previously given up due to difficulty in obtaining materials
Those who would like to incorporate stained glass–style artworks into sales or as heartfelt gifts
As long as you understand the basic use of pastels, anyone is welcome to join this course.
If you are not yet familiar with how to use pastels, we will guide you in advance—from the materials to the basic techniques—so you can begin with confidence.
A Two-Step Learning Journey: Foundation and Advanced
The Saint Flower Stained Glass course is structured in two stages:
Basic Course — Saint Flower Stained Glass (your starting point)
Advanced Course — Saint Flower Color Stained Glass (expanding your range of expression)
You are welcome to enroll in either the Basic or the Advanced course independently.
For those who wish to deepen their learning, we recommend enrolling in both courses together, allowing you to follow a thoughtfully designed progression and fully immerse yourself in the experience.
A Special Gift for Those Who Enroll in Both Courses
— “Mermaid” Motif Video (6-Month Access)
To celebrate this renewed launch, we have prepared a special gift for those who enroll in both the Basic and Advanced courses.
You will receive exclusive access (for six months) to a video lesson on how to create one of the signature motifs of Saint Flower Stained Glass — the “Mermaid.”
There are two mermaid designs included.
The gentle shimmer of the water’s surface, the прозрачent depth of the ocean, and the delicate sparkle of each scale — this motif truly brings out the beauty of stained glass techniques at their finest.
After completing the Basic and Advanced courses, we warmly invite you to take your time and enjoy this special creative journey.
For Those Who Wish to Go Even Deeper
— Stained Glass Comprehensive Course
If you feel drawn to:
“I would like to learn Saint Flower Stained Glass from the basics through to advanced in one complete journey” “I would also like to explore stained glass craft alongside it”
— then the Stained Glass Comprehensive Course is the most valuable option for you.
Included in the Comprehensive Course:
Saint Flower Stained Glass — Basic Course & Advanced Course
Ms.A. “I love that no glass is used—it’s lightweight and unbreakable, which makes it so practical.” “I was able to learn not only stained glass techniques, but also new pastel methods.”
Ms.M. “My world of pastel art has expanded. I would love to express my own work using this technique.”
Ms.Y. “When I gave my piece as a gift, it was truly appreciated. I would like to start selling my artwork in the future.”

If you feel even a gentle attraction to the world of stained glass, it would be our greatest joy to be part of your very first step.
1.動画で総合コースの基礎講座を受講されていかがでしたか? Learning through videos makes it easy to learn in a way that's impossible with face-to-face instruction, and it eliminates the time and location constraints, which I find fantastic. 動画を通じた学習は、対面指導では難しいことを簡単に学べる方法で、時間や場所の制約もなくなるので、とても素晴らしいと感じています。
2.日本語と英語での説明はわかりやすかったですか? 台湾語ではありませんでしたが、理解することはできましたか? Although I don't understand Japanese and my English isn't great, I can still understand. 日本語はわからず、英語も得意ではありませんが、それでも理解することができました。 お互いに英語は母国語ではありませんが、アートなので手元を見ながらの作画とテキストもあるので(英語)理解しやすいですよね。もしかしたらシンプルな英語での説明がかえって良かったのかもしれませんね。
3.動画は見やすかったですか?わかりにくい部分はなかったですか? The videos are explained very clearly and are very easy to watch. 動画はとてもわかりやすく説明されていて、非常に見やすいです。 良かったです。動画だからといってわかりにくい部分がないように、消しゴムの消し方などは、違う角度から見えるように撮影したりと工夫してみました。拡大しているところはビックリするくらいの大画面なのもいいですね。また繰り返し復習しながら描けるのも動画受講の利点ですね。
4.この講座を通じて感じたことがあれば教えてください。 I really love this course. I've learned different pastel techniques and cultivated patience and attention to detail. The more I paint, the more interested I become. I wish I didn't have to work so I could paint all the time, and I want to learn all the different designs quickly. このコースが本当に大好きです。さまざまなパステルの技法を学び、丁寧に描く力と細部への注意力が身につきました。描けば描くほど、どんどん興味が増していきます。仕事がなければずっと絵を描いていたいくらいで、さまざまなデザインを早く全部マスターしたいです。 そう言っていただけて光栄です。実は大きなところではなく細やかで丁寧な作業が作品の仕上がりを左右します。それは結晶の花に限らず、ほかの作品を描く時にも役立つスキル。基礎力を結晶の花で身に着けていただき、それを習慣化することが大切です。わたしも次の作品を見せて頂くのが楽しみです。
5.それ以外に、コースに加えてほしいと思うことはありますか? I haven't thought about the course content yet, but the patterns designed by the teacher are all very beautiful. I love them! Thank you so much for allowing me to create such beautiful pictures; it's wonderful.
As we grow older, do you ever find yourself wanting to reconnect with what you truly love and who you really are?
After moving through busy and demanding years, it’s natural to feel the desire to live more richly and meaningfully from here on.
The Comprehensive Course was created for you.
As you deepen your joy of drawing, your everyday life begins to expand—more beautifully, more gently, and more in tune with who you are.
What is Flower of Crystal Art?
Flower of Crystal Art is not about realistic drawing.
Because of this, its design possibilities are limitless, allowing you to enjoy creating for a long time without ever feeling bored.
By starting from basic forms and continuing to learn step by step, you can gradually let your own unique flowers bloom.
Just as you would nurture a flower with care and love, let us gently cultivate your expressive skills together.
From a hobby to skill development—and beyond
Perhaps you want to enjoy art simply as a hobby.
Perhaps you wish to deepen your skills.
Or maybe, one day, you hope to share this joy as an instructor.
For those with these dreams, we have prepared a Complete Course that supports continuous learning.
While staying close to each learner, I myself hope to continue enjoying Flower of Crystal Art together with you for many years to come.
Even if you have never used pastels before, you are very welcome.
We will provide guidance on tools and basic techniques in advance.
Please feel free to consult us anytime.
