window? Learning how to use lead came in stained glass panels is a
useful skill to have. In this class you will learn when lead is more
beneficial over copper foil, design considerations, how to apply bars for
support, cutting, stretching and shaping the came, glazing, cementing, clean
up and safety. There will also be a section on how to replace a broken
piece in a panel. Each student will construct a
pre-designed, small leaded panel to understand how to make a leaded glass
panel. A list of needed tools and supplies will be provided to student

Friday, November 3rd 10am - 5pm
Saturday, November 4th 10am - 4pm
Sunday, November 5th 10am - 12pm
$350
This comprehensive workshop
offers a strong foundation for constructing decorative art mosaics using stained
glass. New students can expect to gain a broad understanding of mosaic making,
including various mosaic styles and contemporary trends. For returning students,
or folks with some mosaic experience, this is an opportunity for you to take
your work to a new level, master your materials, and benefit from being in the
company of others intrigued by mosaic art.
Students are welcome to bring their own designs, however
instructor will have optional patterns available for those who feel more
comfortable creating from an existing design.
Patterns and photographs will be provided for students to choose from, with the
workshop time frame in mind. Students may bring their own designs, but the instructor URGES you to show
her in advance for feedback and preparation tips. Students are responsible for bringing patterns to scale. Our substrates will be 10" x 10" or 8" x 12", or comparable.
Students provide stained glass and Weldbond adhesive.
AISG store is open throughout the workshop for your convenience and access to their scrap glass at no charge (yummy).
Students are responsible for providing the following, all available at AISG if you do not own
except pencils and scissors:
- Stained glass for your project
- WeldBond glue
- Good quality glass cutting tools (scorer and running pliers)
- Mosaic wheel nipper*
- Favorite picking and positioning tools (tweezers, dental tools, toothpicks)
- Safety Glasses
- Sharpie (thin and regular, one black one silver)
- Pencil (with eraser)
- Scissors
*AISG can loan well-worn tools if you do not own them or are traveling via air
(you cannot pack tools in carry-on bags, they will be confiscated).
Both Friday and Saturday span lunch hour; there are some local places in
walking distance, but many folks brown bag it. Bring a beverage. Wear close-toed shoes.
There is separate $45 supply fee, payable to the Instructor at the start of
the workshop that covers substrate, design, and transfer materials, tool
loans as needed, and grout.
All levels are welcome! Stained glass cutting and/or mosaic making experience not required.
