| Weekend Workshops! Selvin Glass is offering stained glass classes! Once a month a weekend experience, next class March 22-23, 2008. Next months workshop is on April 19-20. This weekend will be an intensive concentration in the basic techniques used to make a leaded stained glass window. Day one will consist of a basic introduction to stained glass design where students will be guided through designing their first window for fabrication. Once the designs are realized, the techniques of cutting glass will be practiced on teacher provided glass. Then the student will begin the process of selecting glass and cutting their window out. Day two the students will be shown techniques of cutting lead, and begin glazing (leading up) their windows. Then soldering will be taught, and each student will finish up their windows by soldering their own panels. Finally the windows will be puttied, cleaned and ready to hang at home! Cost for each weekend workshop is $275 There is a $60 materials fee. You get to keep your materials for this class which includes a lead knife, grozing pliers, glass cutter, three strips of lead, solder, soldering iron and practice glass for cutting. Also included in this fee are two 8" x 10" sheets of glass. If more glass or lead is required, these supplies will be available for purchase.
