At the end of 3 sessions, you will be prepared to work independently on whatever beginner projects you choose.  If you own a kiln, the instructor will spend some time working with you to make sure you feel confident!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the class, you will make 3 small projects (more if you have time and interest) to learn three basic types of things you can do in the kiln.  Shopping for materials is part of the instruction!  Expect to spend $100 or more, depending on your color choices and project size. (Suggested projects are 6x6\" and would cost a minimum of about $70).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"event-description\"\u003eYou will receive a 20% store discount for the length of time you are in the class, for purchase of glass, materials, and kiln space. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"event-description\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"event-description\"\u003eEmail \u003ca href=\"mailto:glassacademy@stainedglassexpress.com\"\u003eglassacademy@stainedglassexpress.com\u003c\/a\u003e with any questions!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-item\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-item\"\u003eTo register for a class, a 50% deposit is required to hold your spot.  \u003cspan\u003eDeposits are refundable or transferable to another class up to 7 days before the class starts\u003c\/span\u003e.
