Stained Glass Course:
Many people have requested classes to learn how to make stained glass. This method requires precision and multiple steps. In the interest of making this accessible for all of is who are juggling schedules, I designed a way to learn in single segments that can work as one-off classes from which you will leave with a completed project, but will also provide you with accumulated knowledge that will lead you to being able to do larger and/or more complicated projects.
You will learn:
Precision glass cutting
Glass edge grinding
Copper foil technique
Soldering
Patina
Finishing techniques
How it works:
There will be multiple projects at various levels. After completing at least 2 classes at level 1, you will be able to tackle a project at level 2. There will be specific projects at each level, but once you have completed 2 level 2 projects, you can also work with me to custom design a piece. You may attend any class at your level or below and work on something that is not the official class project. But, instead use the materials, tools and have my guidance along the way.
