In this 3-hour beginner-friendly class, students will assemble and solder a stained glass suncatcher of their choice: pumpkin or football. Bring nothing and leave with your very own work of stained glass art! Participants will learn the basics of lead-came construction, basic soldering techniques, including the use of tools and techniques unique to the art of stained glass.
No experience is necessary and students of all skill-levels are encouraged to participate. Ages 14+; minors must have the supervision of a parent or guardian who is also participating in the class.
Glass pieces will be pre-cut and shaped. Students will get to choose a pumpkin or football for their project, and select pieces from an assortment of pre-cut glass shapes in a variety of colors and textures. The finished product can be made into a hanging suncatcher or a garden stake.
Safety warning: This workshop can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
