Beginning Copper Foil and Lead classes were conducted in the last five years. Students from those classes reported that they enjoyed receiving background information about stained glass, as well as being able to learn and apply techniques to build a project during class time in eight weeks. They also appreciated having the opportunity to make up missed sessions during the year, in order to complete their class projects.
The four week course is primarily for those students, who want a basic knowledge of cutting, grinding and soldering glass to make a simple piece. Those who elect to take the eight week course will learn about applying wax and patina, as well as techniques to hang or mount completed work.

Questions often arise as to what are the specific areas of instruction found in these classes. The basic courses in art glass enable students to learn how to construct suncatchers or glass panels, using the Copper Foil or Lead Came methods. In addition, stained glass history is presented in handouts, along with technical information, in a class folder. During class time, tools and supplies are available for use, which is included in the class fee, or new tools and accessories can be purchased onsite at a discount. Follow up advanced classes in making lamp shades and jewelry boxes will be offered at some future date, if there is interest.
The course in metal fabrication consists of instruction as to how to cut and join metal, in order to make metal art work from found material. During class time, tools can be borrowed from the instructor, as well as machinery used to cut, grind or join metal, which is included in the class fee. However, there is a fee associated with the purchase of metal on-site that is used in projects.
