PGC 123 Build on your stained glass skills by learning the traditional technique of lead came construction. Working with lead came opens the door to larger, more permanent stained glass projects and provides the structural foundation needed for windows designed to withstand outdoor elements.

In this course, students will create a single stained glass panel using a selection of provided patterns. You’ll learn the fundamentals of working with lead came, including cutting, fitting, joining, and assembling your panel, while gaining the skills and confidence to take on larger architectural stained glass projects.

Ideal for students with previous stained glass experience who are ready to expand their construction techniques and explore the possibilities of lead came.

Prerequisite: Stained Glass 1: Introduction to Copper Foil, or 24 hours of similar class experience and instructor permission, is required.

PGC 123 In this introductory class, you will learn the basics for working with flat colorful glass, such as cutting, grinding, foiling, and soldering. You'll explore the famous Tiffany method of construction and work with provided patterns to create a single finished stained glass panel ready for display.

No experience necessary.

This class is designed for beginners, and is a prerequisite for Stained Glass 2 level classes.

Take your stained glass skills from beginner to intermediate through repetition, experimentation, and plenty of room to try, fail, and try again. Rather than spending the entire 8-week course on one large panel, you’ll design and create a series of smaller suncatchers, using each project as an opportunity to explore new techniques and refine your skills.

Topics will include working with challenging types of glass, designing for structural integrity, incorporating found objects, decorative soldering, wire adornment, and using advanced coldworking equipment. Through a series of hands-on projects, you’ll build confidence with new processes while developing your own approach to design and problem-solving.

This course is ideal for students with some stained glass experience who are ready to experiment, expand their technical skills, and take their work to the next level.

Glass cutting basics and foiling will not be covered. Students will occasionally be expected to complete entire projects during a single class session. We ask students to be comfortable working in stained glass ahead of the first session and be prepared to take part in open studio.

Class tuition includes 2 sessions of open-studio time to be used during the 8-week course to complete your class projects.

Ready to take your stained glass skills further? After completing Stained Glass 1 and one of our Stained Glass 2 courses, continue developing your technique and creative voice in Stained Glass 3: Open Projects.

This course gives you the opportunity to work on projects that match your interests and skill level while receiving guidance and feedback from an instructor. Choose to complete several smaller projects or take on one larger panel, up to 16×18 inches.

With an emphasis on independent making, experimentation, and skill development, this course is a chance to put your stained glass knowledge into practice while exploring new ideas and techniques. Most materials are provided, though students may need to purchase additional glass or other materials if the studio selection does not meet the specific needs of their project.
