This workshop is for absolute beginners who want to learn the basics of stained glass while turning their very own design into a sun catcher. Students may work from a selection of designs or work with the instructor to develop a design that fits within an 8x8 inch square.

Working with a variety of textured, frosted, and iridized clear glass, our focus will be on transparency/translucence as it facilitates external color transfer. We'll custom-tint cement mortars (our adhesive), which will lend color to the glass pieces as we set them into a mosaic design, noticing the effect of the glass surface texture on color intensity.

This workshop is for beginners or those who want to build on their stained glass skills and learn how to create a 3D object using the Tiffany Method.

"Wait, is that {insert type of glass here}?!" Working with a variety of types of opaque glass, we'll explore ways to alter their standard appearance (cutting, shaping, texturing) and use the altered and standard versions together in a mosaic composition for contrast and subtle surprise. Students will choose from several compositions and materials, select/alter/arrange pieces on a template, mix/apply mortar, and finally set their mosaic into mortar in a prepared frame.
