Skill Builder Class: Zinc framing for Stained Glass

Skill Builder Class: Zinc Frame with Red Veilleux

Thursday, June 26

5:00-8:00pm

RECOMMENDED FOR ADVANCED BEGINNER+ TIFFANY-METHOD STAINED GLASS ARTISTS

Bring a stained glass panel and learn to frame its outer edges with zinc came. A great way to add stability and style to your work!  Use our tools including soldering iron and saw (we have a couple to share; if you have your own saw, we highly recommend bringing it!)

Plan to bring or buy:

solder

flux & flux brush

1/4" zinc came - enough to frame your piece

a stained glass piece:

• square/rectangular; right angled corners only
• outer edges may be tinned, foiled, or bare
• if perimeter has been finished with beaded solder, use a soldering iron to take off most of the solder
• panel should be complete and ready for framing when you arrive! 
• NOTE: framing with zinc is not a way to hide uneven edges.  The outside edges of your panel should be flush and straight.  Feel free to stop by with it for someone to check ahead of time!
