This six week introductory class will teach you the basics of working with stained glass using the copper-foil method pioneered by Louis Comfort Tiffany. The class will start off with a small "learning" project that will introduce you to all of the steps involved in creating a stained glass panel from raw sheets of colored glass and strips of copper foil. You will learn about pattern selection and creation, different types of glass, cutting and fitting glass pieces, and how to foil and solder everything together to create a beautiful stained glass panel. The remainder of the class sessions will give you the opportunity to apply your new skills and create a small panel using a design of your own choosing. This class is perfect for beginners with no previous experience working with stained glass.
