Classes in December 

Christmas type that reads "Intro to Stained Glass Class"

Create your own beautiful stained glass holiday ornament! A condensed two-day beginner workshop will introduce you to the fine art of Tiffany-style stained glass.

All materials will be provided including glass, patterns, tools, and equipment. Students can choose between one of four patterns: an angle, Christmas Ornament, Christmas Tree, or Holly. 

Session 1: An introduction to stained glass; students will learn about different types of glass and stained-glass styles, select a pattern, and choose from an assortment of glass to complete their projects.  Students will learn to use tools to score and cut glass and complete a rough layout of their projects.

Session 2: Students will prepare their projects for soldering using the Tiffany method of copper foiling. Each piece of glass will be edged with copper foil using a four-step process. Students will be amazed at how their projects transform into beautiful works of art!

Grinding and soldering will be completed by the instructor. Completed soldered projects will be available for pick-up at SCAHC after December 13th.

*If you wear readers, bring them! You will definitely need your eyes! Closed-toed shoes and safety glasses are highly recommended, especially when cutting glass.*
