Light is a major component of what makes stained glass so unique. The way the colors and shapes interact with the light are not only beautiful but mesmerizing! To expand upon the effect this class will use stained glass to create a functional kaleidoscope. Students will utilize their skills to cut, join, foil, assemble, and solder pieces of glass to create a functional work of art made entirely out of glass. The processes will put nearly every skill of stained glass fabrication to the test. Though no prerequisites are required it is strongly suggested that a intermediate class be considered prior to this class.
