patterning

How to border your finished stained glass window in lead.

You will make:

• A stained glass window approximately 12" by 12"
• Some designs are somewhat larger and may be a circle, oval or a rectangle
• Approximately 20 designs to choose from copperfoil and solder and lead for this project are provided

Tools

You are welcome to use studio tools including grinders (grozing machines).

During your class time, the only tool you will need to purchase is a glass cutter.

There are several different styles to "try" here at the studio before you make the decision to purchase one. The beginner class is designed for you to do all processes during class time.

Glass

Glass is additional and usually costs from $15.00 to $30.00 depending on the colors chosen, manufacturer, and the amount needed.
When you have completed the beginner class, you are free to choose your next project.

It could be a larger more complex copperfoiled stained glass window;

• A small leaded window
• A six or eight sided lampshade - panel lamp
• A garden stone (seasonal)
• A pendulum clock in an oak frame
• A candleholder
• And many more possibilities
  

As your skills increase you may choose a larger leaded window or a complex lampshade, such as a Tiffany reproduction.

You could also choose to make a kitchen cabinet insert. Many more options are available to you as the student.
