COPPER FOIL COURSE
Our copper foil course is a comprehensive series of classes for beginners covering all aspects of assembly, safety, glass cutting, history, design process, metals, chemicals, tool use, different available glasses, patination, home studio, set up, and installation or hanging of the finished work. Instruction for the first four classes proceeds at the rate of the slowest member in the class. Students will complete a practice piece and a flat panel that may be hung or installed. A tool kit is offered for purchase to continue the craft at home.LEADING COURSE
Our leading course covers history, technique, set up, assembly, soldering, and cementing. Particular attention is focused on safe use of lead came and reinforcing. Work sessions consist of a practice panel and a completed work that can be hung or installed. A logical continuation of the foil course.
