Instructor: Charles Wydeven
You can make beautiful stained glass windows and sun catchers using a simple stained glass procedure known as lamination. All you have to do is to cut, grind, and laminate stained glass pieces onto a clear glass pane. After the glue dries tile grout is added to fill the gaps between the stained glass pieces. The stained glass windows can be framed with silicone adhesive. Bring an old picture frame with glass in it. The glass will be used for lamination and will be framed after completion. Come to class with some ideas so that you can start your project on the first day. Fee: $69 includes materials.
