Stained Glass for Beginners
$99 per person | Maker Playground
During this fun and informative class, you will get your hands on glass and learn the process of creating stained glass from start to finish. You don’t need any experience, just enthusiasm, and a willingness to try something new. We supply everything you will need to create your project, and there will be several design patterns to choose from, and a selection of colored glass will be provided. We will teach you how to “cut” glass, apply the copper foil, and solder your piece together. By the end of the 3 hour class, you will have your very own creation completed and ready to take home with you. Sessions are available at the following dates and times:

Intermediate Stained Glass
December 26 & 27 | 6 to 8:30 p.m. each day | $159 per person | Maker Playground
The Part 2 to "Stained Glass for Beginners," this 2-part intermediate class will cover several new topics to expand your knowledge base as you create a larger project than in the beginner class. During the construction of your piece, we will talk about how to design a pattern and prepare your templates from that pattern, how to use stained glass patina to “color” your solder joints after the project is soldered, and the different methods available to you to frame your piece. While you’re working on your project, there will be plenty of time for general questions as well. Hand tools will be available for use during class, and supplies are included in the class cost. But, if you’re ready to get started on your own, there will be starter kits and tools available for purchase at a discounted rate. Please contact the instructor, (Marc), at masterrepurposers@gmail.com for more details and pricing, and he’ll have your equipment ready for you at the beginning of the class. Cost covers registration for both days.
Stained Glass Open Studio
$75 per person | Maker Playground
The third phase after "Stained Glass for Beginners" and "Intermediate Stained Glass," Stained Glass Open Studio gives you the studio space to start a new project and/or gain insight from peers or instructor Marc Rotman with Master Repurposers. This is a great opportunity to spread your wings artistically but with the security of some backup; No specific instruction is planned, but guidance is available. Students can bring their personal tools, or are welcome to use our equipment and tools during the session. Art glass, copper foil, and solder are not included and should be brought by each student. The instructor will have these items available for purchase, if needed, at the beginning of each session.
PLEASE NOTE: Once registered, instructor Marc Rotman will reach out to you to discuss your individual goals or projects that you would like to work on during Open Studio. And if you haven’t done so yet, and you’re ready to invest in the tools of the trade, there will be starter kits and tools available for purchase at a preferred rate.
