Beginner Classes

Beginner classes teach all the necessary skills needed to create your own copper foil stained glass panel.  Cutting with precision, foiling with flair, solder secrets, and perfecting patina are all skills that are taught in this class.  The foundation of success in stained glass is in perfecting the basics.  That is what this class is all about.  Students will complete a panel from a large selection of beginner patterns, approximately 10 x 18 in size, depending on the pattern chosen.  All instruction and use of studio tools are included in the class fee. Materials are in addition to the class fee, and are available for purchase at the studio.
