Description
This class is an introduction to stained glass making. We’ll be going over the basics of the process from start to finish and you will work on making your own piece to take home. You get to pick the colors of glass for your piece, our photos are just suggestions! You will take home a finished sun catcher. You can choose a whipped cream topping or a scoop of ice cream for pie a la mode.
Techniques Used
- Scoring and “cutting” glass
- Grinding of glass pieces
- Application of copper foil
- Flux and soldering of the pieces
Materials Provided
- Glass of various colors and types
- Copper foil, flux, solder
- Cut resistant gloves
- Note: we understand that stained glass artisans rarely use gloves while working with glass. We will have the gloves available for you to use, but it is your choice. By not using our (or your) provided gloves, you are accepting the risk and liability of cuts and abrasions.
- Safety Glasses
- NOT optional. We will provide basic eye protection, or you are welcome to bring your own. If you normally wear glasses, that is acceptable for this activity. Contacts do not satisfy the safety requirement.
