Beginning Stained Glass

Classes run 8 weeks, and are 2 ½ hours each class

Students begin learning the techniques of cutting on 'window pane' glass. The first project is cut, foiled and soldered using clear glass, both for ease of cutting and to keep the cost down.

Students will advance to a stained glass project once they are comfortable. Usually, three or more projects can be completed during the course, depending on their complexity.

The differences between glasscutters, breakers, soldering irons, and grinders will be discussed and proper cutting techniques for each type of cutter will be demonstrated. Foil, patinas and pattern altering will also be covered.

Students will be able to make suncatchers, window hangings or garden stakes on their own by the end of class. And students are always welcome to stop by for help when a score just won't cooperate.

 

Mosaic Classes

In the first class, everyone goes home with a completed picture frame and picture frame mold. In the second class, we attach the backing to the frame and then any project you'd like to work on is your choice.

Some suggestions are:

stepping stones, table tops, flower pots, wall hangings, birdbaths, bathroom backsplashes, or counter tops

Both the direct and indirect method will be explained, so the student may choose whichever they prefer.

Class size is limited so individual attention is given to each student.

JefDen Designs carries 3 different manufacturers' pre-cut glass kits and the line of Mosaic Mercantile ¾” and 3/8” tiles. There is also a selection of various other manufactures of tiles and a selection of Smalti.

There are over 250 different colors of sheet glass to choose from and, finally, you can choose random pieces of glass from the over 20 different scrap buckets. Scrap is sold by weight.

Always wear old clothes and, on the first class, you will need either safety glasses or your own glasses.

 

Sounds easy, right? Don't believe me? Take a look at our students' work.

We also offer Workshops on Fusing, Wire wrap, Lead Came Lampshades and Beading and more...........

Lamentations 3:40 Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.
