This 6-week class will give you the amazing skills to make a stained glass panel using the Tiffany copper foil technique. You will get comfortable with cutting and breaking glass with your bare hands, grinding that glass to fit together like a puzzle, wrapping it with a copper tape, using a soldering iron to hold your panel together and finally, adding the finishing touches. The class includes the use of hand tools and grinders. Following the initial class, you and your instructor will meet at local glass stores to help you with materials purchases.
