In this beginner-friendly class, students will assemble and solder a stained glass suncatcher of their choice. Learn the basics of lead-came construction, basic soldering techniques, and the use of tools and techniques unique to the art of stained glass.
Each design can be completed in 1-2 hours. Host Deke Cameron will have an assortment of pre-cut glass shapes for students to choose from in a variety of designs, colors and textures. Design options vary based on availability; see examples below.
No experience is necessary and students of all skill-levels are encouraged to participate. Bring nothing and leave with your very own work of stained glass art! Ages 14+; minors must have the supervision of a parent or guardian who is also participating in the class. Personal protective equipment like gloves and glasses are provided.
Safety warning: This workshop can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
This project is supported in part by an Elevate Grant of Austin Arts, Culture, Music, & Entertainment.
