Join Donna Freeman for a very hands-on Copper Foil Stained-Glass workshop. Donna will work with you to create your own stained-glass sun-catcher, selecting one of four lovely designs and adding your own touches thru your choice of colors and detail. All materials and required tools are included. If you already have gloves or tools you prefer to use, bring them!
Please dress appropriately. Remember: Glasswork is full of sharp edges!
You may be able to complete the piece and take it home that day. If a second day is needed to ensure your piece is dry and perfect, we have you covered!
- Day 1, select your materials and colors, cut and assemble the pieces, and create your sun-catcher under Donna’s expert guidance. Sometimes the sun-catchers need to dry overnight before they are waxed on the second day.
- Day 2 as needed to finish up, apply patina/polish your sun-catcher.
Copper foil is a great introduction to the art of stained-glass! This is a beginner’s class where you will learn the basics of copper foil technique and create a stained-glass art piece you made yourself! The class includes basic instruction on how to design and structure your piece, use a template, cut the glass, use a diamond grinder, apply and burnish copper foil, assemble and solder the pieces together, add a hook to properly hang your completed piece, and finish it with the patina and shine you select. Donna will help you choose from 4 existing templates. You will select from the colored glass available at the Guild to make you art piece – picking your colors is fun!
Please note that although the class is open to everyone, working with glass requires dexterity and a certain amount of strength and control, and standing is required at times. The class may not be suitable for all participants. Proper safety precautions will be taught at each step and personal protective equipment (PPE) will be provided along with all materials. No previous stained-glass experience is necessary. The class is limited to a maximum of 3 participants.
What’s included in the price?
All equipment needed and a generous supply of materials is available to use during the class. You will be provided a selection of 6 to 7 small pieces to work from. You may be able to finish your project within the 4 hours of the one-day workshop and take your sun-catcher home with you. If you are not quite done, however, Donna will return on Thursday to help you finish up. All materials and tools needed are provided, including gloves, goggles and aprons. Tea, coffee, and fresh bottled water is available. Please arrive about 10 minutes before the start of class so we can start on time at 2:00pm.
