STAINED GLASS BEGINNERS CLASS

UPCOMING CLASS - January 19th, 2012. This class is presently filled. If you would like to call 631.249.3030, we can put your name on a list to be called if openings develop from cancellations.

Our beginners class is an introduction to the stained glass techniques originally used by the Tiffany Glass Studios in the late 1890's. You will learn to cut glass, copper foil, and solder much in the same way as Tiffany's craftspeople did in the creation of small piece windows and lampshades at the turn of the century.

In the first two classes you will learn how to cut glass, and then go on to make a small hanging ornament. The remaining 3 classes will be devoted to making a small window, approximately 12" x 16", using one of the 10 designs provided by our studio. By the end of the course you will have learned the basics required to proceed on your own, or to progress to our intermediate/advanced class.

Maximum size of our class- 16 students. This class is not recommended for pregnant women.
