WORKSHOP: Introduction to Stained Glass

Interested in making stained glass? A four-session stained glass workshop will shed some light on the process of making stained glass over a series of two weekends at the Volcano Art Center (VAC).

All of the basic techniques will be covered, from glass cutting, foiling, soldering, and completing with patina and polishing compound. Glass artist Lois Pollock will share her expertise and knowledge, teaching students the skills involved in working safely with stained glass, and creating a beautiful, sturdy piece of art.
