Stained Glass with Charlotte Sylvester

Charlotte Sylvester has been practicing stained glass since 2020 and is looking forward to guiding you through this intricate, interesting and inspiring process from start to finish. During this 5-session course, students will learn the fundamentals of the Copper Foil Technique and leave with a beautifully finished stained glass creation.

Choose an entry level ‘cartoon’ or template, and learn the nuances of glass cutting, shaping, grinding, copper foiling and soldering. Students will first create a practice piece and with their newly discovered talent, they will craft a stained glass masterpiece to cherish or gift.

Sign up early as there are limited spots available.  Courses will be offered both in the fall and spring semesters to help accommodate this popular offering.  

This class is geared for beginners or intermediate levels, age requirement: 18+. All materials and tools are provided for use during this course.

Requirement: Closed-toed shoes and pants. Safety glasses, gloves and mask are provided; please feel free to bring your own.

Please note, this class is NOT recommended for those that are pregnant or breastfeeding due to the possible exposure of lead solder.

"Charlotte had such genuine enthusiasm for her craft and patience. She provided one on one help to ensure you were comfortable with the process. A good estimation of time, well organized. Love that she had multiple patterns to choose from. I would definitely take another class with her. ZC"
