Class, Introduction to Lead Came

Stained Glass Lead Came Class - with Reilly Burgess

Mondays, 5:30-8:30pm

September 23-October 14

This class is for INTERMEDIATE Tiffany method artists who are BEGINNERS at leaded glass. You are expected to have experience cutting glass and fitting it to a pattern. Please stop by to pick up full-size patterns and plan to have your glass cut before the 1st class.

Instructor Reilly Burgess will show you how to pull, cut and manipulate lead came in the traditional technique of stained glass construction. Great for framing larger pieces, or for those interested in the aesthetics of leaded work and/or restoration. Each student will complete the project shown on the front over the course of 4 sessions.

2 copies of full-sized Patterns

Use of our soldering irons and other tools

Rubber gloves, patina, putty, whiting powder, and homasote board for pinning

Cubby storage space for the duration of the class
