Beginner Stained Glass Class: Tuesday 02.10.26

Tuesday evenings 6pm-9pm. 

This six-evening beginner course introduces you to the essential skills and techniques of stained-glass craftsmanship. You’ll complete one project over the six weeks, selecting from three beginner-friendly glass designs. With expert, hands-on instruction, you’ll build confidence while learning both the art and science behind stained glass.

Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to:

• Safely score, break, and shape glass
• Grind and refine pieces for a perfect fit
• Apply copper foil and prepare seams
• Solder clean, strong lines
• Finish your project with patina and professional polishing
• Use shop tools with confidence and proper technique

Students will work with in-shop equipment, including grossing pliers, running pliers, a soldering iron, grinder, fume extractor, copper and black patina, polishing compound, and glass cleaner.
