8 Week Beginners Course
If you ever wanted to learn the art of making beautiful pictures in colored glass this is the course for you. Taught by a glass artist with 37 years experience you will learn to construct stained glass in the copper foil (Tiffany) method. Covered topics include stained glass types, cutting and shaping glass, applying copper foil, proper soldering techniques, and studio safety. Students will start by making a suncatcher in their very first class. In subsequent classes they will make a small stained glass panel, and practice 3D techniques by making a jewelry box. A student's choice project with instructor assistance will finish out the course. Use of all studio equipment (cutters, pliers, grinders, etc.) throughout the course and materials for the first project are included in the course fee. Consumables (glass, foil, solder,chemicals) for all other projects must be purchased by the student (average cost $80-120 depending on glass chosen).
New Sessions begin in September.
