About the Course:
This course is suitable for those who have some experience and those who are new to glass work. You will learn traditional techniques, and students will complete projects of their own choice in stained glass, as well as some class projects. You will learn how to:
- Cut glass
- Grind glass
- Use lead
- Cement the panel
- Soldering
- Clean the panel at the end
You will also use the copper foil technique for more delicate pieces.
At the end of the academic year, there will be an annual student exhibition of your work with private view for friends and families of students to come along and admire your hard work.
