Monday Evening Stained Glass – Fall 1
Fall 1 Session: (7 Weeks)
September 8th – October 20th
Mondays, 7:00pm – 9:00pm
About the Class
Instructor: Carmine Buttacavoli
In this seven-week class you will learn the copper foil method of stained glass. We will go over basic pattern development, how to cut glass, use a grinder, and assemble a design. Once the glass is cut and ground to fit, then you will learn how to apply copper foil tape to your glass pieces. Next you will learn how to solder everything together, then finish the project using a zinc frame. The addition of hanging rings and patina is the last steps in the project. This class requires your own tools. The Studio has limited communal-sets of some tools that you can borrow during the class. Please see materials list for more info.
