Stained Glass Intensive: Suncatchers
Take a deep dive into the art of stained glass in this four-week intensive. At the end of the class, you will “graduate” with a magnificent 6" suncatcher ready to hang in your window. This class will cover the basics of the Tiffany-style copper foil method. You’ll learn to cut glass, grind, foil, burnish and solder while exploring the basic chemistry behind this science-heavy art form.
Please note: Instructor will provide all safety gear, masks, eyewear, heatsafe gloves, finger covers, but you should always be extra careful around sharp and hot objects. Absolutely no food or beverage allowed in the workshop. Preferably covered arms and legs and close-toed shoes are best practices in a workshop environment.
