Goals

Introduce students to skills used to create small pieces out of stained glass, including cutting, soldering, and installing hardware or closures. Students also practice spatial thinking, weights and measurements, and creative problem solving.


Activities

Learn how to make your own stained glass jewelry and sculptures! In this weeklong class we will cover how to safely work with glass and lead-free solder. Our first project will be making our own pendants or earrings to learn the basics of the medium and practice skills like cutting and soldering. After that, we will dive into following patterns or drafting your own to make three-dimensional sculptures and vessels out of glass! We'll also talk about how you can make your own stained glass workspace at home.
