Stained Glass Class
Maggie Courtis
Service Description
Introduction to Stained Glass Series 5 Sessions, each from 1 to 4 p.m. Fall Dates: To Be Determined Class Fee: $300 Tuition: $220 Materials: $80 Students use our tools. All materials are provided. Students bring: Apron (optional) Bag lunch and Beverages More information: MaggieBCourtis@gmail.com In this introductory stained glass class, students learn how to design patterns, make patterns, cut glass, assemble the piece, solder, and finish. You'll learn the tricks needed to construct a window that will fit into the exact dimensions of an established opening. Students will complete two small projects, one leaded and one copper foiled, to have experience in the two most widely used techniques for creating stained glass. A third technique is commonly used, but employs the use of a glass kiln and will not be introduced in this series. During the first lesson students will begin cutting glass, learn about creating patterns, and begin a small, simple project. Using the copper foil technique, we will each construct a night light. Students will use our tools. Materials, including the night light fixture, will be provided. For the second project, students complete a small, simple leaded project. Through this project, students learn: ** how to calculate measurements to fit a project into a predefined space (an architectural opening or a frame) ** design principles ** the complete process of constructing a leaded stained glass window. After completing the two projects students will have experienced both leading and copper foiling. At this point each individual will have enough familiarity with the processes, tools, and materials to decide on a preference in construction method. In the five sessions, most people will finish their projects and have some classroom time available to work on designing their next piece, to be done independently. Instruction and experience with the limitations of the glass medium will help students develop a feasible project design of their own. If a student has enough time in class to also begin the third project, students can use Scarab tools in class to work on the project. Materials are not provided for the third project.
