*Intermediate Level*
This 4-hour course offers those who have some experience with creating stained glass art through the copper foil & solder method the chance to expand their skills and learn how to "laminate" various found objects between glass pieces to create a one-of-a-kind sun catcher. Students should have experience with cutting glass and at least basic knowledge of the soldering process. Needing a quick refresher is completely fine, we just don't want to start from scratch on what students know. This is a great "next step" class for those who have taken a beginner class at SHAK before.
Sunday, March 15th
2:00-6:00pm
SHAK Members- $60/per person
Non-SHAK Members- $75/per person
A variety of dried, pressed flowers will be provided, however if students would like certain found objects within their piece, they should bring these items with them. Possible found objects that can be used are thinly pressed flowers, lace, fabric, snake skin, animal fur, human hair, and many other options. Items should lay fairly flat and have a low profile or depth.
Students are also welcome to bring crystals to attach to their pieces if they wish.
Students will also have access to our "scrap glass" bins, but if they wish to provide their own stain glass, they should bring it along with them. Students are encouraged to check out the glass available from Kokomo Opalescent Glass, but it can also be purchased at Hobby Lobby or from various websites.
Students are welcome to email the instructor, Jen Martin, at Jen@SHAKMakerspace.org with any questions about this.
Closed-toe shoes are required for all participants.
*Stained glass workshops are very popular and often fill quickly. Please register only if you plan to attend. Refunds and transfers to a different class date are granted on a very limited, case-by-case basis.*
Prescription glasses or reading glasses are recommended for those with vision needs but are not required.
Students may bring their own safety glasses and gardening or safety gloves (thick, protective gloves—thin plastic gloves are not permitted). These items are optional and only necessary if you prefer not to use the shared safety equipment provided. Safety glasses and gloves are available at most home improvement stores.
Participants are welcome to bring a snack or non-alcoholic beverage or visit Lexis’ Drink Barn next door.
Safety is our top priority. All students and assisting adults must be able to listen to and follow instructions to ensure a safe and successful class experience. Anyone unable or unwilling to follow instructions—particularly safety guidelines—will be asked to leave SHAK immediately without a refund.
Some examples of the types of projects students might create are listed below. These exact designs may not all be available for students, this is just to allow you to understand what to expect.
