Glass Classes & Owner Update


By Linda Ehlers - March 31, 2021

Glass Classes & Owner Update
Owner Update: 
My right hand surgery (for Carpal Tunnel and arthritis in my thumb/wrist joint) went well, and I am out of the brace after 5 weeks.  I was cutting with the straight edge cutter 2 weeks after surgery, then foiling and cutting glass with my left hand after 3.  (I already could solder with my left hand.)  I finished cutting and foiling Bernie, but left and right hand not steady enough to paint on face details. I want to apply fusing paint and firing it into the glass.  Maybe in another week.  

(Face currently drawn on in black pen, and chair legs made out of 3/16 u zinc. 
Electrical tape holding chair legs in place.)


I got the Johnson and Johnson vaccine on March 11th.  So I am fully vacinated.  Customers are still welcome to come in and pick out glass and supplies.

SUMMER PLANS:  My summer plans have changed.  Subscribe to my website to get the latest updates, or look in the upper right hand corner of my website for closed dates.


Group Classes - No longer available till November 2021.

I don't plan on teaching group classes till November.    NOTE: My beginner stained glass class, beginner fusing class, and beginner snowflake hanging class are available on video via YouTube or memory stick for a fee.  I recommend learning from these videos.  Then coming in for some private lesson time if you need help.  Go to the Great Glass Galore website and clicking on classes to get more info.

Private Lessons/Workshop Time -
No longer available till August 2021.
Now Available For Up To 4 Students

My husband and I have been vaccinated.  So I am opening up private lessons/workshop time to 3 and 4 students together that are also fully vaccinated.  (1 to 2 person private lessons are also available for unvaccinated students.)  These would be groups of people that know each other.  Each student would have their own table to work on, but would not be 6 feet apart at all times.  Masks are required.  Each individual can park their car at my house.  

Cost:
   1 Student - $36/hour
   2 Students - $24/hour per student
   3 Students - $20/hour per student
   4 Students - $16/hour per student

2021 Glass Classes COVID Update


By Linda Ehlers - January 19, 2021

2021 Glass Classes COVID Update
PRIVATE LESSONS/WORKSHOP TIME
Great Glass Galore is currently open for only private lessons and workshop time at a cost of $36/hour for one person and $48/hour for two people.  These lessons take place at the first table of my basement, and the tables and tools are sanitized before and afterwards.  Plan to wear a mask and hand sanitize when you come in.
Note:  I do not charge for the time you spend to pick out a pattern or glass for stained glass.  If you are fusing, you pay for the entire time you are in my home.  In this case, it is hard to separate design time from selecting glass and materials.

GROUP CLASSES
Group classes will not resume until at least fall of 2021.  As most of you know, this is a business out of my home, and I would like to keep my family safe during this time. My husband and I are in our late 50s and we will be in the last group to get the COVID vaccine.  So I  don't plan to teach until we both are vaccinated, and/or until it is safe. I also don't teach in the summer and plan to hike through the end of September.  So I won't be teaching until at least October/November.  Even then, it is not clear if it will be safe by then.  Any students from March 2020 that did not request a class fee refund can still do so, or will remain on the list of students who get first priority to sign up for classes when they resume. 

D&L Art Glass in North Denver is now offering classes in beginner copper foil stained glass, beginner lead came stained glass, and beginner fusing.  Most of their classes are full through the end of March, but you can go to their website, and get on their emailing list to receive class schedule updates.  Click on "Education", then click on "Join our class email list"  on the dlartglass.com website.

VIDEO INSTRUCTION
Great Glass Galore offers video instruction in beginner stained glass, beginner fusing, and stained glass snowflake hangings.  You can watch these on YouTube or on a memory stick.  Go to the Great Glass Galore YouTube channel to watch the class introductions for free.  Then call, email, text, or click on the "Register For Class" button from greatglassgalore.com to pay for the full class.  You can learn on your own at home, then schedule private lessons if you need additional help.
