Stained Glass for Beginners: Rhombus Cube Sun Catcher

Join us for introduction to our Stained Glass shop!

Using different colored and textured glass, we’ll arrange three diamond shapes (rhombuses) using the copper foil method to form a “3D” cube.

In this class you will leave knowing:

How to cut and shape glass from a pattern
Apply foil to the glass for soldering
How to use soldering irons on copper foil to join different glass pieces in a design
How to add a simple eye loop to a piece
All safety procedures for use of equipment and materials in the Stained Glass shop

This beginner class will get your foot in the door of the Stained Glass shop. This course counts as a foundational class that will allow you to work independently in the shop.

A week of all things glass! Each day will be filled with making art in both glass fusing and mosaics! We'll work together on a variety of hands-on activities that will involve learning how to cut glass, creating fused glass items like sun-catchers and learning mosaic techniques to create different kinds of mosaics (including garden stakes) throughout the week. This camp is intended for campers who will be able to attend all 5 days. All the activities build on skills learned the day before. Also, all projects will take more than one day to complete. Friday will be our grouting day so come in clothes that can get dirty! Get ready for a week of fun: creativity, innovation, and friendship! Prepare for an empowering and exciting week of learning valuable skills! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Marissa at Marissa@rutlandmint.org.
