CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

STAINED GLASS
Beginners:  All students make the beginner project shown on the front page.  Pick out your own class selection 24 hours or more before the first class or instructor will pick out glass for you. Beginners learn the steps of the copper foil method of stained glass (cutting, grinding, fitting, foiling, soldering, and framing). Try Great Glass Galore tools the 1st week, then purchase or rent tools by the 2nd week. Rent tools ($25), purchase tools ($128-$203 plus tax), or bring your own tools.  Pay the materials fee of $75 or bring you own materials.  The materials fee includes copies, transparencies, dura-lar, glass, foil, solder, flux, metal frame, hooks, and chain.

• Beginners move to the non-beginner classes once they finish their first project.

Non-Beginners:  Work on whatever you want at your own pace (lamps, boxes, clocks, large windows, fusing, mosaics, stepping stones, or another stained glass panel).  Get added help and tips to advance your stained glass skills and knowledge. Materials and tools not included in class fee.

BEGINNER FUSED GLASS
Learn about the materials used in fusing and how to clean and assemble them.  Learn how to use a straight edge cutter to cut the glass and some basic hand cutting techniques.  Students will make one large square or rectangular project (7x7” candy dish, 8x8”/10x10”/12x12” shallow square slumper plate, or a 6x13”/7x14” rectangular platter).  Left over glass can be used to make a 3x3” jewelry dish, 3.5x3.5” ginger plate, or 4x4” coaster.  Expect to spend $15-$40 on materials.  Firing fees and tool rental included in the class fee.

NON-BEGINNER FRIDAY FUSING GLASS
Make one or more bowls, plates, tiles, clocks, coasters, jewelry and more.  The student assembles the projects and the teacher fires them.  The projects are shaped to ceramic or stainless steel molds and Great Glass Galore has over 60 molds available for student use.  Work on projects at your own pace, or learn more details about firing schedules, setting up your own kiln, kiln wash, molds, fiber papers, or other fusing techniques.   The asdmount you spend on materials and firing fees depends upon how many projects you make.  Glass cutting skills are recommended, but not required.
