2 Day Beginners Copperfoil Workshops
Cost: $440 for the full weekend workshop.
Our 2 Day Beginners Copperfoil Workshop is a step-by-step introduction to the beautiful world of stained glass. The weekend is designed specifically for curious beginners - so if you’ve never picked up a glass cutter before, you’re exactly who I’m looking for! I keep class sizes small, maiximum 3 students, so we can focus on building your confidence as you learn to score, foil, and solder in a cozy, creative space.
By Sunday afternoon, you’ll surprise yourself with the skills you’ve gained and walk away with a custom-made suncatcher, ready to hang. It’s more than just a class; it’s a mindful retreat where you can slow down and create something lasting with your own hands.
