Fox Friday: Stained Glass
In this workshop, students will learn the stained glass process, exploring how glass can be used to create compositions with light and color. Using the copper foil method, participants will design and assemble a panel from colored glass, using up to 8 shapes and measuring approximately 4 by 6 inches. The session will guide students through the key processes of glass scoring, cutting, grinding, and soldering. By the end of the workshop, students will have a finished glass panel ready to hang in a window, forming a light installation.
