Glass
G-105: TRADITIONAL STAINED GLASS
Thursdays, Apr. 26, May 3, 10, 17 & 24 6:30 - 9:00 pm
TUITION: $85, plus $50 materials fee paid to instructor at first class session
Lead came (lead channel) construction is ideal for traditional or geometric panels, bevel panels, and large architectural construction, but it can be challenging to learn, because it is so different from copper foil work. Using simplified techniques, artist and instructor George Ayars will guide you through the process, teaching you how to create beautiful lead came work, in this five-week class. Topics include helpful tips for cutting glass specifically for lead came projects; making & using piece patterns; assembly, cementing, and cleanup techniques. Students will choose a pattern from a group selected by the instructor for this class. Some previous glass cutting and soldering experience is recommended, but not required. All tools are provided or you may bring your own glass tools to class.

G-301 (MayFaire): MOSAIC GARDEN STEPPING STONES (age 10+)
Saturday, May 5, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
TUITION: $25
Simple to make, colorful and durable stepping stones set a path through crowded gardens and provide extra color when flowers aren’t in bloom. A fun class for both adults and kids aged 10 and up. Students create a concrete and glass, 8”x8” square stone. Concrete needs 24 hours to harden before removal from molds. Completed stones can be picked up at the School after a few days.
Or, you maypurchase the reusable mold for an extra $12 and take your project with you immediately. No previous glass cutting experience is necessary.
