We do not teach you how to make sun catchers right off the bat. We don't feel that you learn enough of the techniques of stained glass construction just building little trinkets. The best thing to do is to build a medium sized panel so that you have a grasp of all the steps of construction and then build a large panel, something to be proud of. After that, you'll have all the skills necessary to build sun catchers, if you still want to build some.

This method really works. One student who started with a larger panel, without building a medium sized one kept cutting pieces of glass too large. When told that her pieces weren't fitting, she said, "Oh, I'm just going to grind them all at once." (not a recommended technique) When she finally got to the grinding step, she realized that it wasn't as quick and easy as she'd imagined. "If I'd known how long this was going to take, I would have been more careful when I cut these out," she told us later. Of course, once you've built a large panel, you'll have the skills necessary to build gift items and sun catchers. You'll be able to build any number of wonderful projects.
During the class you will learn the steps to window construction. How to cut glass, how to copy patterns, using pattern pieces to cut glass, grinding glass techniques and foiling and fitting pieces. Soldering and metal cutting are also taught.
YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY SUPPLIES BEFORE COMING TO CLASS!!! 
We supply what you'll need, we also sell additional tools and materials at a lower cost than you'll find them elsewhere.

Dress appropriately (no open toed shoes) Long sleeves and high neck shirts will protect you from glass bits.
