Beginner stained glass (copper foil aka Tiffany method). In this class you will make a completed stained glass piece and take it home with you. The class is approximately two hours long for a class of two, it may take a little longer if you have three or four people in your group. In this class you will learn how to safely cut glass and shape your pieces with a stained glass grinder. You will also learn how to solder your piece together and if you like, how to use patina. We provide a piece of chain so you can hang your piece when you get home. All of the equipment you need will be provided. We have a first aid kit, just in case, since we are working with glass. Closed toe shoes are required and we provide all the necessary PPE (personal protective equipment). Unfortunately we cannot accommodate anyone under the age of 18. There are several options for this class, if you scroll through the photos there are examples of each piece. The crescent moon option is the simplest design, therefore it is the fastest and least expensive class. It should take approximately two hours. The hummingbird, cardinal, and trillium(flower) options are a little more difficult. These designs use more glass and may take a little longer. These classes may take approximately three hours. Below I have added a break down of what the class will entail with an approximate timeline First 10 minutes of the class, choose colors The following 15 minutes, trace pattern onto glass with a paint pen 20-30 minutes, score and cut glass with a glass cutter 20-30 minutes, shape glass with the glass grinder 20-30 minutes, copper foil the pieces, solder them together adding a hook and chain
