Squid Studio

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

This class is for anyone who has already taken a beginner class or workshop and would like to continue learning stained glass! Or for anyone who has been self-taught and would like to try a class setting!

In this class students will have creative freedom in designing or selecting a pattern for the piece they create using the copper foil method. However, a size of 14x14" or smaller is recommended. It is also recommended that students have their design or pattern to at least a mock-up stage by the first class. I can give creative consultation on designs with stained glass best practices.

During the four week class we will complete the processes of pattern prep, glass selections, cutting glass (with extra emphasis on technique and proper tool usage), grinding, copper foiling, soldering, patina (optional) and cleaning/polishing the finished pieces.

Tools are provided, but students must buy their own glass.

A $35 deposit is required to register and will go towards the total cost of the class. The remaining $140 will be due at the first class by cash or check (made out to Squid Studio).

I will send out an email to the registered students two weeks before the first class with more information and to consult about designs and glass.
