Beginner Stained Glass Projects
Beginners: All students make the 11x14” fifteen piece beginner project shown on this page. 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 $80($73.77 + $6.23 tax) or bring you own materials. The materials fee includes copies, transparencies, dura-lar, glass, foil, solder, flux, metal frame, hooks, and chain. Pick out your own class selection 24 hours or more before the first class or instructor will pick out glass for you. Beginners move to the non-beginner classes once they finish their first project.
Non-Beginner Stained Glass Project
by Christine Adams
Non-Beginners: Work on whatever you want at your own pace. Some of the different types of projects you can work on are lamps, boxes, clocks, large windows, fusing, mosaics, stepping stones, beveled snowflakes, or another stained glass panel.
NOTE: Materials and tools NOT INCLUDED in class fee. Material costs vary greatly depending upon the size of the project and glass selection. Rent in-class tools for $25, bring your own, or purchase tools. You can bring your own supplies/materials, or you can purchase them from Great Glass Galore throughout the 4 week class. You can also come pick out patterns, supplies, tools, and glass for your project outside of class hours free of charge. Please make an appointment to do this.
