Lead Came Stained Glass Panels/Windows 2 sessions

During this weekly 2-week class, Gord, our Winemaker and Stained Glass Artist in residence will teach you all the skills required to properly use the tools and materials needed to make your very own stained glass panel using lead came techniques.  You will learn the entire process from start to finish and learn the skills to make your own lead came panels and windows. 

Pre-requisites: In consideration of all students, this class requires that students have experience in cutting, grinding and soldering and are able to do these confidently and independently. The focus of the class will be teaching how to use lead came in a project.
