Class Crafts Workshop
Class: Beginning Stained Glass @ Contracommon
In this single session class, 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.
