An in-depth introduction to stained glass panel construction.
Students work on a larger, more involved panel over two sessions. The additional time allows us to focus more closely on precision and structure. Students learn about borders, hinge joints and weak points, using layout blocks or jigs, maintaining square dimensions, fitting across a larger composition, soldering longer seams, reinforcement, framing, patina and professional finishing.
For this workshop students begin evaluating their own work: deciding when a piece needs additional grinding, when it should be recut, and how small fitting problems can affect the rest of a panel.
Possible projects might include botanicals, landscapes, geometric compositions, architectural designs, or Maine-inspired imagery.
