Craft your very own custom etched luminary in this beginner-level class! You'll be guided through the entire process of working with glass, starting with learning how to cut glass into panels. Next, we'll practice etching designs onto glass with a rotary tool, learn how to apply copper foil, and finally solder the etched panels to create an illuminated work of art. No two pieces will be alike as you delve into the artistry of creating intricate designs on glass surfaces. If you have a design in mind for your etching, please bring it. The instructor will also provide patterns for you to choose from.
Whether you're interested in working with glass as a medium, aiming to craft personalized gifts, or simply eager to acquire a new skill, this class offers an engaging and fulfilling introduction to working with glass. Designed for individuals with no prior experience, this class is perfect for DIY enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys hands-on projects. It's a unique opportunity to unleash your creativity and discover the joy of working with glass by creating a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art!
