Copperfoiling Glass Art: Kaleidoscope
9am – 4pm
Recommended 16 years and over
Requirements
Closed-in shoes, long sleeves and long pants. Please bring a water bottle.
Create a stunning kaleidoscope using the copperfoil technique with seasoned artisan Michele Hollister. Copperfoiling is similar to leadlighting, but it uses a slightly different method to hold the
glass together.
This technique allows you to create 3 dimensional items such as lamps, boxes and kaleidoscopes.
During this class you will learn to cut the glass, apply the foil and solder your piece together.
