Description: 

In this 2 session class, taking place two consecutive Thursdays, students will learn to make an approximate 8"x10" size panel using the copper foil method of stained glass. There will be several patterns to choose from or they may design one of their own which needs to be approved by the instructor prior to the start date. They will choose from lots of beautiful stained glass for their design. They will cut, grind, foil wrap, solder, patina and finish their panels with a zinc frame. Hanging rings will be added so the panels will be ready to hang up in their homes.

Note:

-This class takes place on August 21st and August 28th.

-Stained glass solder is comprised of 60% tin and 40% lead. Lead can be harmful if ingested, so proper hand washing is recommended before eating and drinking. Safety glasses and gloves may be worn as well.
