About this Workshop
This hands-on, project-based workshop is designed for students with little or no previous stained-glass experience. Using the copper foil (Tiffany) method, students will learn the fundamentals of working with stained glass, including glass selection, pattern design, cutting, grinding, foiling, soldering, and finishing. Students will create a variety of small- to medium-sized projects, building their skills and confidence with each one. They will also learn how to develop their own stained-glass patterns. One project will demonstrate how to transform a photocopy of an 8″ × 10″ photograph or piece of artwork into a stained-glass pattern and panel. Students may bring multiple enlarged copies of a favorite photograph, landscape, or child’s artwork to draw on and cut apart as they develop their patterns. Projects will progress from simple suncatchers and nightlights to more dimensional designs, including stained-glass plant terrariums. Students will work with different types of glass and construction techniques as they progress from flat panels to three-dimensional pieces. The emphasis throughout the class will be on learning through making, with demonstrations and individual instruction provided as students work through each project. No previous stained-glass experience is required. Students will leave with a minimum of eight finished projects.
