Introduction to designing and building stained glass art projects. Students will learn fundamental safety for handling glass and the basics of designing, cutting, foiling, soldering, framing, and hanging Tiffany style glass art. Flat work, 3-D build, special techniques and finishing will be explored.
Tools available in the glass work area will include basic glass shaping hand tools, grinders, and soldering irons. Lessons will be a combination of lecture and hands-on training. Lab time will be scheduled in addition to the sessions as optional work periods, but are highly recommended for individual and small group learning of specific topics. A beginning project (including materials) will be given to each participant during the initial session, with an additional individual project of the student’s choice, to be completed by the end of the three session class.
