in this class students will be tasked with cutting and refining nine pieces of stained glass in the assembly of a 3-D sculptural stained glass plant. The colors chosen are only limited by the colors available. When it comes to mimicking nature, perfection isn’t required in fact the more irregular the shapes the more realistic it looks. This course is not so dependent on how precise the piece is but rather to bolster soldering skills and using jigs to help get angles correct.
Work Involved - (cutting, tracing, soldering, foiling edges, grinding, filing, framework)
Tools & Materials - (Lead came/U channel, copper foil, 60/40 lead solder, soldering irons, various color and styles of stained glass, latex gloves, tracing sheets, pliers, glass cutters, T pins/flat nails, pin hammers, cutting oil, glass grinder, decorative chain, tinned wire, tinned jump rings, plastic water color brushes, small plastic paint cups, paper towels, flux, and patina)
