This five-day class teaches the fundamentals of leaded glass through professional studio practices used to create panels for residential architectural settings. Students will choose a geometric, floral, or organic design and build at least one panel during the week. No prior glass experience is necessary, and safety is emphasized throughout. The class begins with pattern preparation and layout, including color selection, pattern marking, and establishing square edges. Students will learn how glass scoring works, how to hold and maintain a cutter, and how to read a score by sight, feel, and sound. They will start by breaking glass by hand, then use tapping, grozers, and running pliers. They will also plan cuts around grain direction, the character of each sheet, and yield, and use shaft and belt grinders to fit the pieces. Each panel will have a zinc frame and a lead interior matrix. Students will learn when to use each metal, stretch lead came in a vise, cut it with dykes, and fit glass snugly into the heart of the came. They will use fids, horseshoe nails, and other assembly tools while learning to place lead lines for strength without compromising the design. Soldering instruction will cover cleaning, flux application, iron temperature, and neat joints. Students will then cement and polish their panels, apply patina to the zinc, and complete a final cleaning. Matt will demonstrate how to install a panel in a wood frame or window sash. Students will leave with a finished panel and experience with the full fabrication process.
