Stained Glass Course

Service Description

Craft an Heirloom and learn the basics of stained glass. This four-week class is your chance to learn the art of Tiffany stained glass (copper foil technique) and lead came. Choose between a beautiful Halloween spider web, or a timeless honeycomb design. Tuesday Nights, 6pm-8pm Sep 24-Oct 15 All tools and materials included Session 1: Tools & Glass Basics - Safety first! We'll get you comfortable with the tools and then dive into choosing the perfect glass colors for your spider web design. Practice cutting on scrap glass to master curves and straight lines. Session 2: Cutting & Grinding Like a Pro - Sharpen your skills as we continue cutting glass and learn grinding techniques. You might even start foiling some pieces! Session 3: Foiling Frenzy! - Cutting, grinding, and foiling will be the name of the game this week. Aim to have all your pieces prepped with foil by the end of class, so next week we can solder them together. Session 4: Soldering & Finishing Touches! In our final session, you'll learn to solder your creation together and add a lead came border for a polished look. Feeling fancy? We'll show you how to incorporate decorative elements like chains, a tiny lil spider, or sun catchers into your design!

Lead Warning Lead is an integral component of Stained glass and Tiffany stained glass technique. It’s what holds the glass together. In this class we will be handling lead in our lead based solder as well as generating fumes from flux when soldering. Everyone will be provided with gloves and proper ventilation. Although the risks are minuscule if proper safety precautions are put in place, if you have any health concerns please reach out to your health provider or us. Lead Warning and Prop 65. Lead is on the Proposition 65 (https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/faq) list because it can cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Exposure to lead during pregnancy can affect brain development and cause learning and behavior problems for the child. Exposure to lead can harm the reproductive systems of men and women.
