Students will learn the fundamentals of stained glass to create a small stained glass suncatcher. In this all-day intensive, students will learn how to: - use glass cutting tools and glass grinders - cut specific shapes out of art glass - choose from a dozen design templates - choose from a large assortment of colorful art glass - cut each shape to the pattern - copper foil each piece - solder pieces together to complete pattern
Please note, students will be cutting glass and creating lots of shards. Also, they will be using hot soldering irons. Safety protocols will be addressed at the start of class. Safety goggles, bandaids and gloves will be provided. Please note: we will be using leaded solder (tin 60%, lead 40%) and chemicals such are flux and patina.
Students will take home their project at end of seminar.
