Western Carolina University will offer the workshop “Learning for Fun: Stained Glass” from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursdays, Aug. 27 through Oct. 1, in the south lobby of Cordelia Camp Building.
Appropriate for both beginners and advanced students, the course will follow the Tiffany Method of stained glass, which involves wrapping in copper foil and then soldering each piece of glass. Participants will complete a project in plain glass and a small panel in colored glass by the end of the workshop.
Participants will learn safety procedures, proper cutting techniques, foiling and soldering techniques, and simple metal framing, as well as types of glass, solders and copper foils.
Instructor Moya O’Neal has worked with stained glass for more than 20 years. She has been an active member of the International Guild of Glass Artists and teaches privately in her spare time.
Cost of the workshop is $85. Students also will be expected to purchase their solder, foil, glass, safety glasses and cotton gloves. Other tools will be provided.
