Stained Glass Candle Holders

Using stained glass in three dimensions is nothing new but pulling it off takes skill and planning. In this class students will be introduced to several methods in which stained glass can be arranged and soldered into three-dimensional forms. This class will also cover methods of glass cutting, soldering, and how to patina your lead lines. Students will choose their own glass and within set parameters, will determine the height and design of the piece according to confidence, design, and skill level. No previous classes are required though a beginner course is suggested.
