I have a stained glass kit with glass, tool, grinder, etc. I have had it well over a year. I watched the instructional DVD but just was not ready to attempt it. I found a GROUPON,(coupons you can buy buy for cool activities by city) for a stained glass class is my area. I signed up for the four classes. They are 2 1/2 hours each.
Yesterday was my first class. We learned how to cut glass and use the proper tools. We started our first little project, a butterfly. We used a pattern, cut the glass pieces, grinded the pieces, and copper foiled the pieces.
Next week I will complete te butterfly by soldering it together. I will then begin a slightly more complicated project.
This was fun and best of all, I CAN DO IT! Glad I took the time for this.
