You have the choice of two types classes for beginners: copper foil and lead came. The descriptions and dates are detailed below. The two techniques use different approaches but either class can be a great starting point for developing your own stained glass skills.
COPPER FOIL AND LEAD CAME
$ 219 + $ 29 material + plus taxes
--> 10h workshop ​​
Copper foil is the most popular of the stained glass classes offered at Studio du Verre. ​With this method, you can make stained glass windows, sun catchers, pendants, and Tiffany-style lamps. You can also make other 3-dimensional objects such as boxes or terrariums.
​
In the Copper Foil course, you will make a stained glass panel (about 8" by 10") with your teacher, using the Tiffany copper foil technique. You will learn how to trace your glass, as well as how to cut, grind, solder, and patina your project.
​
​​In the Lead Came course, you will learn how to assemble a panel using lead came, and how to solder and clean your panel like a professional. Additional complexity can be introduced for intermediate learners. There is a growing demand for lead classes. Leaded windows are constructed using the traditional method. In fact, most of the historic homes and buildings in Montreal use this technique. This is the method our studio uses in its own creations, and in restoration projects.
Patterns, tools, and materials are provided.

Glass fusion is the technique of partially melting glass together in a kiln to join different elements seamlessly. Students will learn to cut glass, as well as the basics of glass fusing. They will then have the opportunity of creating a unique project totaling ~5"x5" using cut glass, frit, stringers, and other embellishments. When their project is ready, students will prep the piece for a flat firing in the kiln overnight.

Sunday fusion class - from 10 am to 2pm ​​​​

In this painting class, students will learn the traditional technique of painting on glass to create more intricate and classic pieces. After choosing from a variety of designs, the student will cut and paint the glass. Finally, the piece will be fired to produce the final product.
This class prepares the student for assembly in a home studio, where your next masterpiece awaits you!
