CLASSES
My next set of classes will start the third week of April 2024. I will again offer a Beginner I class on Monday and Thursday nights...limited to six students each so I can offer lots of much needed attention. It’s the best class to reinforce your skills if you have only taken one or two classes. Projects will be limited to 18 pieces so you will be able to finish.
Tuesday night will be Beginner PI, Photo Imaging on Glass. This class is open to mosaic artists as well, to make objects that can be used in their projects. The Photo Imaging class is an excellent class for folks who have taken Beginner I and now want to create a window with more advanced decorative patterns, text or images.
Wednesday night’s Makers Mayhem class will require a bit of experience so it will be open only to students who have taken several classes from me. I will pull out lots of nontraditional materials for students to use, chandelier prisms, found glass objects, remnants of old church windows and whatever crazy glass stuff I have collected over the years. It’s a really fun way to create something completely unique in the stained glass world. Students in the Makers Mayhem class can use any of the techniques they have used in previous projects as well including fusing and photo imaging.
