Class Crafts Workshop
Class: Stained Glass @ Contracommon
Students will learn the basics of lead came, or “lead light” stained glass, while learning basic leading, soldering, and finishing techniques.  We will be assembling pre-cut pieces of glass (students will have a variety of colors/styles to choose from) to form a suncatcher with a themed design (approx. 4-6 inches).  Glass cutting and shaping will be discussed, and students will have the opportunity to score/break/grind glass. 

Each student will leave the workshop with a completed work of stained glass.  No experience is necessary and all tools and materials will be provided. This workshop is intended for artists aged 14 and up; participants under 18 must attend with a parent or guardian. Cost is $100.
