CLASSES
My next set of classes will start the week of September 9, 2024. All classes are limited to 6 students
Monday and Thursday nights (BOTH NIGHTS SOLD OUT) will again offer a Beginner I class...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's class offering is Beginner FG, Stained Glass with Fused Glass Elements. We will be making stained glass panels with fused glass included in select or a central area. This process allows students to "paint" an image or details using glass frits and cut pieces melted together in the kiln. A very fun process and a good technique for beginners who are ready to move beyond my Beginner I class (a prerequisite or has equivalent experience).
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 may use any of the techniques they have used in previous projects as well including fusing and photo imaging.
