Price: $200.00 includes all the supplies and tool rental, this is an 8 hour class.

Our Beginner Stained Glass Class focuses on "copper foil" or "Tiffany" method of assembling a stained glass panel. More forgiving than the traditional "lead" method, it is perfect for beginners, yet it is sophisticated enough to be a method of choice for some very experienced artisans. In this class you will learn how to trace and cut out glass for your pattern, and then you will grind, copperfoil, solder and finish a stained glass panel! A variety of patterns is provided for this class.

*Students: please wear close toed shoes and if you have longer hair, something to hold it back is advisable.*
