Learn the craft of Stained Glass with no experience necessary! Pick from over a dozen designs and choose your own colors and textures of glass. Students are instructed on the two main techniques of the hobby. This course covers both the lead came and copper foil method. Beginners complete 2 projects (one leaded glass panel 12" x 15" and one foiled nightlight or 3-D project) while learning the skills of design, layout, glass cutting and shaping, leading, foiling, soldering, finishing, and proper display. Class cost includes 5 sessions of instruction with a maximum class size of 6. Beginner Tool Kits that include the required tools are available for purchase. In addition, a materials fee of $40.00 is payable the first session and students must purchase glass and bevels separately as the projects require. Scrap glass for practice cutting and for projects is provided. Please download the Beginner Tool and Supply List for more information on required tools and supplies.

Take your skills to the next level! This class introduces students to the techniques of glass painting and firing. Stained glass is a term that is widely used incorrectly. Actual stained glass is a method of applying glass paints to the glass for a permanent design. Course covers tracery (dark line painting), matting (shading), silver staining (yellow tones), and enamel applications (colors). Students will have the choice of completing either a stained glass medallion or a more tradional stained glass panel. Class fees include pattern for project, firing charges for duration of class, and glass for student samples of paints to be completed in class. Students will be required to provide brushes, paints, mediums, and supplies. Paint Tool kits are available. This is a specialized class involving techniques that are rarely taught. Class size is limited to 6 students. Prior painting experience is helpful, but not necessary.

This course assumes that the student has prior experience in either leaded glass or copper foil. This is not a beginner class. Students will be instructed in the "leading method," which will include pattern making, the cutting and manipulation of lead came, soldering, and finishing. Students complete 1 leaded glass project. Patterns are available or students can choose their own design w/ instructor approval. Project may include a simple bevel cluster or a design including floral, leaves, or traditional styles. Students must provide all tools and necessary supplies for projects. Because of space limitations, students must also provide a 24" x 32" work board. These will be available for a nominal fee or can be made.
