BEGINNING STAINED GLASS @ Glass Visions Stained Glass Studio

** This class is held at the Glass Visions Stained Glass Studio in Springfield, MA (81 Mill Street). Free parking. Check out the Glass Visions website at https://glassvisions.biz/ for more information. Directions to the studio will be provided to all registered students prior to the first class.

This is a 5 week class (5 3+hr classes for a total of 15+ hrs) that is meant for beginners or intermediates requiring a refresher and provides a complete exploration of the copper-foil stained glass process. We'll cover everything including history, how Tiffany made stained glass what it is today, types of stained glass projects, details about stained glass and how to select for your projects, patterns, equipment & safety, construction process and finishing techniques. Yes, there's lots to cover! Students will have an opportunity to practice glass cutting, grinding, foiling and soldering before working on their own project. Students will have a choice of 8+ project patterns for their class project. The goal for this class is to give students a COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING of copper-foil stained glass art and how to use all of the necessary equipment as you learn & work through the stained glass construction process to complete your project.

All glass & supplies are included in the cost of the class! There are NO hidden fees! Each student will select a project pattern (generally 20-40 pieces) , build it during class and take it home at the end. Classes have a PowerPoint presentation covering the material for the class and then studio time where students will put what they learned into action. And we're always available to show you what we covered and help you in any way we can! We also have discounted BEGINNER KITS available for students including all the necessary tools & equipment (and starter glass!) needed to setup your own stained glass workshop.
All students receive a FREE electronic copy of my Stained Glass Reference Book that provides written instructions for all topics discussed in class.
