Register

Workshop Level: Intermediate: Able to design and create simple projects with minimal guidance; trained on all studio equipment. Must be able to fit pieces to a pattern and foil.

       

April 28 - For this class you will need your cutting tools, frames, pins, working board, and glass. Look at the picture of the two projects. You will make one project into a spinner and the other project a flat hanging piece. Decide what color(s) you want to use. We will only be constructing one square from each pattern. The flat pictured project is 3.5 X 3.5 while the spinner is 3.75 X 4. The straight-line pattern has bevels in it which will be provided at a cost of $6. We are looking for accurate cutting, fitting and staying within the pattern. Nothing will be soldered this day. After this class you will have three weeks to cut and fit the other 5 panels for each project.

May 19/20 - For these classes you will bring all your cut, fit and foiled pieces in their individual baggies (this will be explained April 28). You will need your board to pin project to, frames, push pins, flux, solder, heat proof glove or a towel. We will learn various soldering methods and then practice, practice, practice. You can bring your own soldering iron. Pieces will be assembled.

General supplies to bring to class:

  • Glass cutting tools: Toyo Cutter, Running Pliers, Grozers, Nippers, Cutting Surface (Quilt-type mats work best)
  • Soldering items: solder, flux, applicators, frames, push pins
  • Writing Tools: Black Sharpies (fine and regular). Silver Marker
  • Other helpful items: A carrying box for projects
