The copper foil method, also known as the Tiffany Method, is a technique used in stained glass construction. This method involves wrapping the edges of each glass piece with copper foil tape. The pieces are then joined together by soldering, which creates a metal framework that holds the glass together.
This one-day course is designed to equip you with the skills, tools, and glass necessary to create one to two stained glass sun catchers using the copper foil technique.
We will start the workshop with an overview of the basic tools used for scoring and cutting glass, followed by a short demonstration on how to break glass safely. You will then have the opportunity to practice your cutting skills on standard ‘float’ glass.
Once you feel comfortable, you will select a design from a variety of available templates. You will cut and prepare pieces of colored art glass to build your first design. After that, you will learn how to grind the edges of each glass piece in preparation for foiling. You will be taught how to apply the foil to the glass pieces.
After a lunch break, we will continue the workshop by learning how to solder all the glass pieces together. If time allows, you will have the opportunity to create a second sun catcher. All pieces made during the course will be yours to take home and keep.
To ensure the quality of your personal experience, group size will be limited to 6.
