Class Description
Go a little batty this Halloween season and discover the art of stained glass with Laurali Manieri and Gail Youngman!
In this hands-on workshop, students will create their very own stained glass bat, complete with dramatic wings and rich, colorful glass. Whether you're completely new to stained glass or ready to add another piece to your collection, Laurali and Gail will guide you through the process from start to finish in a fun, supportive environment.
Students will learn the fundamental techniques used to transform individual pieces of glass into a finished work of art, including cutting, grinding, copper foiling, and soldering.
By the end of class, you'll leave with a handcrafted stained glass bat that's perfect for adding a little spooky personality to a window, wall, or Halloween display—and the experience of creating something entirely from glass!
No previous stained glass experience is necessary.
