This 3-hour workshop is meant to give you an introductory taste for working with stained glass. During this workshop, you will cut, foil, and solder a colorful 4-6-piece sun catcher to beautify any window in your home.
Please choose from the workshop dates and times provided below (or email us with your interest if none of these fit your schedule).
All patterns, glass, tools, and additional materials are included in the workshop fees.
You will have a variety of suncatcher patterns to choose from, as well as a large selection of stained glass (see images for just some of the patterns offered for this level).
Your instructor for these workshops is Grounded Place Artisan Peter Grandy. With
over 30 years of glass experience, Peter is a patient teacher, willing to share all his
tips, techniques, and lessons learned over the years. Laura McGann also often joins to co-teach.
Class size is limited to 3 to allow for personalized attention. You must be 16+ to attend.
All workshops are held at the Grounded Place Studio (4th floor), inside the Holliston
Mill, 24 Water Street, Holliston, MA 01746.
