6-Hour Class
This six hour class is a full introduction into the art of stained glass. You will select a provided pattern and choose your colors from my collection of glass in my studio. We will transfer the pattern to the glass and cut/break each piece using a scoring wheel and pliers. I will then show you how to grind and fit them to the pattern. We are using the Tiffany technique (copper foil method) so you will then foil each piece of glass. You will then solder it, patina if necessary and polish. We will add a chain and you will walk away with a finished piece of stained glass artwork that you made from start to finish (Woohoo!!) that is ready to hang!
Price: $350
What to expect: You will be in a working glass studio, please dress in shop appropriate clothing and shoes! Closed-toe shoes that are comfortable to stand in are a requirement, long pants are strongly recomended. Be prepared to tie back long hair. We will be using oil-based chemicals that can stain your clothing and hot solder that can burn your clothing so please do not wear your favorite outfit! I will provide you with appropriate gloves, masks, and safety glasses, if you would like to bring your own apron please do so but be advised we will be working with lead- no aprons that will return to your kitchen. You will be standing for most of the workshop. We will take a short break between foiling and soldering. There are two small on-site parking spaces as well as 2-hour parking on Main st. and unlimited parking on Laurel and Kalorama, Laurel is closest. There is a private single gender-neutral bathroom in studio. Climate controlled.
Class size is limited to two students so I can provide adequate instruction and attention. Contact me for group pricing or if you have a group of three or four, we can discuss options.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
