$30

Learn the art of stained glass.  You will leave this workshop with a completed Stained glass Sun catcher.   All the tools you will need are provided for your use and you can create your own design or pick from our book of patterns.  

 

The cost of the class includes the use of tools, glass cutters, diamond grosser, practice clear glass, patina, and whiting.   The studio has a fantastic huge selection of stained glass available. This class will be limited to 6 students.  

The cost for the class is $30 for all 3 sessions.  

Why Sun catchers?  Making a sun catcher as your first project allows you to learn all the basics of stained glass in a short period of time.  Sun catchers are great with helping to keep the birds from dying on your windows.  Students who have completed the class may work on future projects at the studio and will be eligible for Stained Glass Boxes, flat panel lamp shades, and tiffinay style lamp shade classes to be offered in the future.
