Beginning Stained Glass: Bird Suncatchers (Age 18+)

Beginning Stained Glass: Bird Suncatchers (Age 18+)

Saturday, January 17 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

In this one-day workshop, Teaching Artist Ginger makes stained glass easy and fun! No experience is necessary and all skill levels are welcome. With Ginger as your guide, you’ll make a 5” x 5” seasonal suncatcher (or two smaller ones!) that will look lovely hanging in your window, on your wall, or in your garden. You’ll learn about cutting and grinding glass and fitting pieces together, and you’ll gain an understanding of applying copper foil, soldering, and other techniques. You’ll take home your beautiful finished piece at the end of the workshop. All supplies included. Please enter through the 5th Street door.

Attire and Safety: For your safety, please wear closed‑toe shoes and avoid flowy/loose clothing or sleeves. Long hair should be tied back. Safety glasses are provided and required during cutting, grinding, and soldering. No food or drink at the workbench. Please wash your hands after handling solder, lead came, or patina.

Soldering and Ventilation: Some projects involve soldering and the use of flux and patina. Our studio uses general ventilation during soldering. We also provide personal protective equipment (PPE) and clear safety instructions.

Health Advisory: If you are pregnant, might be pregnant, or are breastfeeding, please consult your healthcare provider before registering to determine whether stained glass and soldering activities are appropriate for you. If you enroll, ask the instructor to seat you in the best‑ventilated area and feel free to request additional PPE. If you prefer to use lead‑free solder, please notify the ACE Learning Coordinator in advance via email at [email protected]. We’ll make every effort to accommodate your request.
