Class fee includes: - patterns - tool rental for this project - Foil; solder; patina and flux **COURSE DOES NOT INCLUDE GLASS FOR THIS PROJECT I know its summer, but................ Please note that Open Toed Shoes are not allowed in the studio where class is held. We hope you enjoy this time together, meet new friends, and learn lots! We just have a couple of things to tell you about our class before you dive into the glass. This class will provide you with the fundamentals of stained glass using the copper foil method. Patience and practice are important parts of being a stained-glass artisan but never fear if you are lacking those requirements – they can be learned! Don’t be too hard on yourself as you are working on your first projects. You will be learning many new skills, and they won’t be mastered overnight, but there will be great improvements with each project that you make. We want to act as a resource to provide answers to your technical questions even after your project is finished. Advanced classes are available on a regular basis. Glass etching, lead came, lamp shade, mosaics, fusing, and repair classes are some of those offered. For information on these classes, ask us to put you on Margie’s mailing list. We can then keep you current on educational offerings. All our classes are available online. You will find pictures and descriptions and you can even register online! Two-hour parking is available on the street, or we have public parking garages only a half block away. There are no parking limits on Saturdays or the evenings. Once again, thank you for taking class at Margie’s. I would encourage you to go to our store page and purchase a Hakko 601 soldering iron for class! We will have it here and ready to use for your project. Of course you are to use our classroom irons. ~Margie & the Staff
