*We recognize that not all our class prices are accessible for our whole community, and this system allows folks to choose how much they pay for a class. Using a sliding scale helps us work toward our belief in economic justice and accessibility of folk education. More information on sliding scale classes can be found here.

The vibrant colors of stained glass catch the sunlight and everyone’s attention. Have you ever wished you could make something beautiful like that? In this class you should learn about the basic stained glass techniques: how to cut glass pattern pieces; how to use copper foiling; how to solder your pieces together; and how to add a patina and clean up the finished piece. All that’s left for you to do is to show off your handiwork. 

This is a two-day class, which, depending on your speed of working, will give you time to complete one piece in colors of your choice. All the tools, supplies, and safety glasses will be provided. If you regularly wear glasses, please bring them. If you have questions, please contact Betty through the Folk School office.

About the instructor: Betty Firth has often felt like a magpie (or raven), attracted to shiny, beautiful things. She loves an abundance of colors and surrounds herself with as much color as possible whenever she can. She has particularly enjoyed working with color in pottery, fabric collages, weaving, beading, and watercolor, as well as stained glass.
