About this Event
** 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.
* Please note that this class DOESN'T NECESSARILY RUN WEEKLY based on student progress on their projects. We'll work together to schedule the classes as needed.
TERRARIUMS are a great option for building interesting and useful 3D stained glass projects! These can be small and fairly simple or extremely complex with designs including many different levels utilizing a multitude of glass types and filigree to give them an awesome artistic look. The best part is TERRARIUMS are so useful to help grow flowers and plants year-round in your home. This class will show you the basics and allow you to push your artistic skills as you make decisions about the best designs & glass types to help show your TERRARIUM in the best light. Since different plants require different light levels, it's best to think a bit about what you want to grow prior to building a new TERRARIUM. The goal for this class is to give intermediate students a solid understanding of the construction process required to put a TERRARIUM together and make it watertight.
Students are expected to have their own equipment and be able to work on their TERRARIUM at home between classes. Discounts will be provided if enrolled students need to purchase equipment. Students will need to supply glass & supplies for their TERRARIUM and we will offer a 10% discount on any items purchased during class.
We have several pattern options available and we'll review different TERRARIUM pattern possibilities in the first class. We also have several different TERRARIUM pattern books available (FREE use for students) and we'll review all of this so students can make their pattern decisions. It is also possible to design your own, however, that will only be briefly discussed in this class. If you have a specific TERRARIUM pattern that you would like to do, by all means, bring it along and we'll help you understand any building issues and guide you in its construction. Please remember, the goal for this class is to help you LEARN THE PROCESS, so plan to keep your design choices fairly simple so you can gain experience doing TERRARIUM building and then be able to move onto more advanced designs later.
Just a note, generally students will NOT be able to make enough progress weekly to warrant the class running each week. We will adjust the schedule as needed based on how each student is progressing.
