We’ll start with a small stained glass project, using the copper foil method. The next week, we’ll tackle a leaded stained glass piece. The following week we’ll learn about fusing and slumping glass and use of a kiln. The last Thursday of the month we’ll let YOU decide which method you want to wrap up the class with. You can create jewelry using the fusing method, design another fused and slumped piece, or complete another copper foil or leaded stained glass piece! So, why keep wondering?
