Classes will be held -
Summer 2012
season
at the Banner Hill School of Fine Arts & Wood Working, Windham, NY
4 Day - Intensive Beginner
1 & 2 Students new to stained glass will learn
core foundation skills in stained glass design, pattern making, templates, cutting glass, fitting, foiling, and panel assembly,
soldering skills and patina applications by making a simply designed flat panel which will be fitted into a frame. Depending
on the class offered, the student may also make a second panel that will challenge him/her by introducing increased
pieces and level of difficulty in cutting techniques. During
this class students will select a design from several layouts provided by the instructor, and create stained glass panels
using translucent and opalescent glass. The focus of this class is to teach you how to cut, fit and solder a panel and master
the basic skills required for continuing to make successful stained glass projects. These foundation skills will build upon
each other to move you quickly to the next level of more intricate cuts and design techniques. In class, students will discuss
the types of cuts that can and cannot be achieved in glass along with demonstrations. Students and instructor will discuss
design construction to achieve a layout that is inherently strong. This will help the student plan better designs for their
projects. Only the Tiffany-Copper Foil technique will be taught during this course. |

great companion course to the Master Stained Glass Intensive course, this 1 day course utilizes GlassEye 2000 Software © .
Students will learn to design their own stained glass window patterns. This class will give students the freedom to design
virtually any pattern they can imagine. Students will learn to design work with a set of custom tools that will make
drawings, alignments, symmetry, measurements, and resizing easy. Your design can then be printed full size and be used
to actually cut your templates and patterns! In addition, students will be able to assign colors using .jpgs of acutual glass
and the ability to calculate material usage. This allows the student to see, in an instant, the effect of different glass,
color and line appearance choices upon their final design, thus enhancing their creative learning experience |
