Basic stained Glass Classes
$185.00*
Four students per class
Choose from three class schedules:
-Two consecutive Saturdays from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm(held at least once a month)
-Private"one on one" -together we will set a schedule in two-hour increments(additional $50.00)
-Once you sign up for a class, there will be a necessary $35.00 rescheduling fee for any changes you make to the set class schedule. Rescheduling will be done according to the store times and availability.
* No need to purchase tools and materials that are used in the class except for your glass. We do not want to restrict you in your choice of color or texture so you will have a variety of glass to choose from in our scrap bin, bargain bin, and our retail section, prices do vary. Please, we ask you not to use your glass for the Basic Class.
Choose one of our seven patterns(pics below), and we will teach you how to create a 10" x 16" work of art. You'll learn how to layout a pattern, adequately cut and shape the glass pieces (we've got bandages just in case), apply copper foil, solder, frame your panel and add a chain so when you leave the only thing you'll need to do is take it home and hang it! The skills you learn in our Basic Stained Glass Class will enable you to move on to more complex designs and classes and help you make just about anything your heart desires, from Sun-catchers, Stained Glass Panels, Transoms, 3D Stars, and even Tiffany-style lamps!
You will need to come in before the start date of the class to choose your pattern and purchase your glass.
You can make an appointment to let me know you're coming in by clicking on the "appointment" button.
At this time you will receive your class information and all students must sign an accident waiver & release of liability form, you must be at least sixteen years of age and signed for if under the age of eighteen.
