Stained
Glass I

Stained Glass I is an eight-week class at The Chicago Mosaic School meeting Thursdays from October 22 to December 17, with sessions from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The course covers the technique, history and practicality of stained glass, and students learn two methods — copper foil and leaded channel — through two projects of approximately 8" x 10". Instruction combines discussion, demonstrations and hands-on work: cutting patterns, selecting colors, cutting glass, assembling, soldering, patina and preparing pieces for hanging. A selection of designs and a wide variety of colored glass are included, along with the use of tools and supplies for each project. Registration is available through the school's website.
