Stained Glass

Stained GlassIt’s time to have fun working with glass and making an artistic panel to hang. Class is open to both beginners and intermediate glass artists. If you’ve never cut glass, you will learn to do so, and if you know how, you will get started right away. While similar in many ways to prior classes held, i.e. teaching the skills of Louis Tiffany stained glass art…cutting, foiling the glass, soldering, cleaning and framing the piece, it will be different in that we will be using almost entirely CLEAR, TEXTURED glass. You will be surprised to see how very effective this can be. Think about what colors you will want for the large corners. So come out and join us for some fun and don’t forget to bring: a ruler, pencil with eraser, eye protection, old soft rags, scissors, rubber gloves, 2 small plastic containers (i.e. pill bottles) and a small box (shoe box is great) Additional $40 supply fee will be collected at the first class (make check payable to Sallie Derr).
