3060A. STAINED GLASS CRASH COURSE —at the artist’s studio: Saturday, 9am-5pm, June 16 (one-day workshop)

If you have always appreciated the beauty of stained glass, come find out how it’s done by doing it yourself.  In a completely relaxed and casual atmosphere at the artist’s studio in Mebane, overcome the intimidation of breaking glass with your bare hands (and a few handy tools).  This one-day workshop is designed for complete beginners, but is also perfect for those who need a quick refresher course or want to gain more experience.  We will cover all the basics of the copper foil method, including glass cutting, grinding, foiling and soldering.  Students will be allowed to choose from several patterns and glass combinations including seasonal, traditional, contemporary and whimsical.  This is a fun and fast-paced day with a 30-minute break for lunch.  Each student will complete a small panel, ornament or sun catcher and will leave with suggested reading, resource information and a wealth of knowledge and experience that prepares the student for the intermediate copper foil level.

*This class only employs the copper foil method.

*Students will be charged an estimated $40 for materials, paid to instructor on the day of the workshop (cash or check only, please).

*Students should bring a bag lunch and bottled drink.

*Dress should be casual with closed-toe shoes.
