Fishers Parks Intro to Leaded Stained Glass

Now that you’ve mastered the copper-foil method of stained glass by taking Stained Glass for Beginners and Intermediate Stained Glass, it’s time to learn about the age-old method of lead came stained glass. In this introductory class, you will work along with the instructor to build a small leaded, glass panel, learning the process along the way. You will be able to select art glass of your choice for your project, but everyone in class will be using the same design to build along with the instructor. We will cover lead stretching, cutting and forming, as well as soldering of lead joints and framing with lead. The instructor will demonstrate the cementing and cleaning process, and, if time allows, you will complete this process in class. If not, the instructor will send you home with your project and a batch of stained glass cement to complete at home (because of the curing time needed for the cement, it may not possible to complete that activity during class). All materials provided.
*Please advise the instructor if you are pregnant, nursing, or have respiratory concerns and the class will be slightly adjusted to provide an increased level of comfort and safety.

This class is a 2-day workshop, running 9 a.m. to noon each day, April 10 and 11.
