This class will cover the basics and more advanced techniques used in building leaded stained glass panels. We will cover building with flat, half round and special profile leads. Butting, tucking, creating glazier points. Which fluxes to use, how to incorporate structure and support bars into your designs. We will discuss installation processes and weather proofing. Students will be encouraged to design their own projects but if necessary designs can be provided.
What to Expect:
While working in stained glass, participants engage in seated and standing activities such as cutting and assembling glass pieces. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity. Learn more about accessibility on our website.
Eligibility: No experience required. Open to ages 14 and up.
Pick-up: You can expect to bring some work to fruition during class that can be taken home at the end of class. If anything is made on the last day of class, students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.
This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass.
We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment.
