Memory Makers program – Stained Glass!
This program is set up for a senior (55+) and a youth (under 16) to take a class and build a project together for one low cost! Perfect for Grandparents and grandchildren, Aunts/Uncles with Nieces/Nephews, or even your favorite neighbor from down the road!
- Each senior/youth duo will work together to make a simple sun catcher that will have between 6 and 12 pieces. There will be 4 designs to choose from.
- The instructor will show students basic glass cutting techniques and various cutting methods for their sun catcher.
- You will learn how to prepare the edges for foil tape and how to tack pieces in place over the pattern on the work surface; as well as how to apply the solder and patina.
-
- You will need to bring a pair of ‘high dexterity’ gloves for yourself. – These can be purchased at many local stores (Dollarama, Canadian Tire, Walmart, any hardware or gardening store)
All other supplies and tools are included in the course.
- This workshop is led by retired electrician and stained glass-enthusiast, Jim Hilland.
- NOTE: We ask that you wear closed-toed shoes. Long hair must be tied up.
