Students will learn the fundamentals of building a stained glass panel from start to finish. This class is for students who are completely new to stained glass. Lessons will encompass pattern design, glass scoring/breaking, grinding, foiling, soldering, framing, and applying various patinas. Each student will have made at least one piece they can bring home and immediately display at the end of the class.
