About this Event
Discover the world of stained glass – discover the world of “bending light” - as you create your own Chickadee suncatcher with holly and berries!
In this 4-hour workshop, you will learn the Tiffany or “foil” method of doing stained glass. You will have the chance to work with cutters, grinders, and soldering irons provided by the Instructor. You will have the opportunity to learn the entire process of creating a stained glass design: from cutting a pattern to the finished piece and every step in between.
This is a unique opportunity to learn the basics of stained glass art - without having to invest in all the glass or equipment.
PLUS, you will get to go home with your own adorable Chickadee, the official “heart thief” of Wye Marsh. Chickadee-dee-dee!

About the Instructor:
Susan Dalrymple has worked with stained glass for over 16 years. Her work with stained and fused glass began with a desire to be creative, but with the disciplined and skilled techniques required for working with glass.
“You start with an idea, create the pattern, and the colours in the glass bring the image to life.”
As Susan’s art glass skills grew, friends and acquaintances, through word-of-mouth, wanted to purchase her projects or commission her to create custom works. She founded Bending Light Designs (BLD) as a home-based studio and teaches at a professional studio.
Susan has sold many pieces of unique glass designs, commissioned work and has donated numerous pieces to various fundraisers. Well known in the community for her volunteer involvement, Susan is a recipient of the Governor General Sovereign Caring Canadian Award for Volunteers.
