Please Join us for an introduction to the BEAUTY and HISTORY of Stained Glass Art! Humans have used & produced glass for thousands of years and it's been a main art form for 1200+ years. From the beautiful, colorful and wide scoping lead-came glass construction used in Cathedrals beginning around 1000 AD to the amazing Opalescent glass creations produced by the Tiffany Studios using the copper-foil technique starting in the late 1880's, the historical significance of glass art is truly amazing. We'll provide an overview of the copper-foil technique and you'll get some HANDS-ON TIME to try glass cutting, grinding, foiling and soldering. Come feast your eyes on some great images of glass art and gain a basic understanding of the Stained Glass Art Form and how glass art projects are created. $5 discount provided for students who continue onto our full BEGINNING STAINED GLASS class. Hope to see you there!
