Windows AND Making Lighthouses, Flowers, Water, Trees and More!
Resin Lighthouse
Dates:
Fee: $225
First two hours of class, 10-12:00:
Want to learn how to cut curves and lines? In this class you will learn how to use mosaic tools and stained-glass tools (wheeled cutters, table straight cutter, scorer, score one cutter and grinder) to achieve the cut you desire! Obviously, all these techniques improve with practice, but you will get a taste of what the right tool is for the right cut, have practice with each, and prepare what you need for the resin class that follows.
You can prepare a lighthouse, water, grass, flowers, books and more to add to your piece!
Join us to learn more about glass! All levels welcome!
In the next 4 hours of the class, 12:00-4:00:
We will be learning to mix, pour and de-bubble resin, and the ins and outs of designing windows! Supplies are included however, feel free to bring sea glass, shells, and other items/shards to incorporate into your piece. Bring what you like and I’ll tell you what will work. Clear items work well so that the sun can reflect through them, if you are going to put the window in a window. If you are going to put it on a wall, any non-porous item can be used.
The class fee includes all materials (including the window or one or two prepared picture frames). You are welcome to bring your own window (no larger than approx. 36×30). Please note that I offer donated windows to my students for free, but I never know what sizes I’ll have available. If you are looking for a specific size, you may want to bring your own window. If you are flexible feel free to choose one of mine. Additional picture frame sized pieces can be made for $25 each.
If you have a very complicated design idea, please contact Cheryl to discuss it. Feel free to send Cheryl a picture of your ideas. Some people benefit from coming into some of the “open studio” classes to do some additional preparation for this class.
All resin classes:
Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather that can get messy, as the windows need to stay open for ventilation and the adhesive is sticky. So no AC or heat while making windows. Long hair needs to be in a ponytail.
The windows need to dry overnight, so you are welcome to pick up your piece during my regularly scheduled classes, Tuesday and Thursday mornings 10-12:30 or Thursdays 4:15-10 pm. Check my schedule online for Friday and Saturday class times also.
These projects are large, so class size is limited to the first 8 people who register online. Sorry I’m unable to hold spaces open without registration. Hope you can join us!
No previous art experience needed!
Please note, my studio is on the second floor of a mill building with no elevator.
Also, please wear closed toe shoes (no sandals) as it is a glass studio, thanks!
