Beginning Stained Glass

** This class is held at the Glass Visions studio at 81 Mill Street (Mill Park Office Commons) in Springfield MA. Free lighted secure off- street parking available.

This class is meant for beginners or intermediates requiring a refresher and provides a complete exploration of the copper-foil stained glass process. We'll cover everything including history, how Tiffany made stained glass what it is today, types of stained glass projects, details about stained glass and how to select for your projects, patterns, equipment & safety, construction process and finishing techniques. Yes, there's lots to cover! Students will have an opportunity to practice glass cutting, grinding, foiling and soldering before working on their own project. The goal for this class is to give students a COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING of copper-foil stained glass art and how to use all of the necessary equipment as you learn & work through the stained glass construction process to complete your CLASS PROJECT.

All GLASS & SUPPLIES are included in the cost of the class! There are NO hidden fees! Each student will select a small panel pattern (25-40 pieces), build it during class and take it home at the end. Classes have a PowerPoint presentation covering the material for the class followed by studio time where students will put what they learned into action. And we're always available to show you what we covered and help you in any way we can!

Students receive a FREE electronic copy of my Stained Glass Reference Book that provides written instructions for all topics discussed in class and copies of all class presentation files.
