At the end of the class, all our painting samples will be fired to be ready for next day. The second day we'll learn how to foil the fired pieces and how to solder them to complete our very unique painted stained glass suncatcher.  Saturday: 10am-4pmSunday: 10am-1pm Photos attached are an illustration of the technique. As we'll work with lead, this course is not suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
