In this copper foil stained glass class, students will create a charming firefly from colorful glass using the traditional copper foil method. Working with a pattern, you’ll learn to cut pieces grind, foil, solder, and clean your glass to form the firefly’s glowing body, delicate wings, and antennae. Once complete, the finished piece can be mounted on a stake for planting in a pot as a whimsical garden ornament, or finished with a hanging loop to become a sparkling suncatcher that catches the light indoors or out.

The class covers glass cutting basics (score, break, and shape), grinding edges, foiling, soldering, and adding a hanging ring.  

This is a long class so be prepared to have something to drink and a snack with you (if you wish). For safety reasons, please make sure that you have closed shoes and your long hair tied-back. please bring a kitchen towel to dry your pieces.
