About the workshop:
4 only per workshop, even if I have only one!
Create a stained glass piece of art!
There is a book of over 30 patterns to choose from, each with 7 to 10 pieces of glass.
Using the copper foil method, I will teach you to:
- score and break glass
- grind glass to fit the pattern
- foil and burnish the pieces
- solder the pieces together
- clean and polish the final piece
By the end of the workshop, you will come away with an appreciation for glass and an introduction to the skills required
if you decide to take up glass art.
