Have you ever wanted to try your hand at stained glass?

Chuck Franklin will be teaching at Uroboros Glass on June 26 to 27 to teach you the skills you need to create your own stained glass projects using the copper foil technique of stained glass assembly. This includes design work, pattern layout, cutting of glass, foiling glass, and soldering. From a choice of patterns, you will cut, grind and assemble the pieces during the class, gain experience and take home a finished project. No experience or artistry is required. A great class to take

with a friend! Students need to bring glass cutter, breaking and running

pliers, soldering iron, straight edge, note book, and sack lunch. Glass, copper foil, lead solder, pattern shears, lead came for framing will be provided.

Cost $225 full tuition (limit 10)

For all levels.
