STAINED GLASS/ FOIL CLASSES

***NEW*** Morton Glass Shop Workshop - 2 - Two Hour Sessions
Melanie will be your hostess with the mostess of information on working with and understanding the Morton Portable Glass Shop. She has spent countless hours mastering the set up and special cutting techniques to help you make your system fun and easy to use. The first session will be setting up for strip cutting and other geometric shapes. For the second session she will show how easy it is to cut perfect circles, leaving your outer edge intact and how to cut trapezoids for use in boarder designs. She has a beautiful piece on display. Please keep in mind that while this will be a learning session, you may choose glass that you can incorporate into a stained glass project or for fusing.However, that decision is up to you. Also, if any of those ideas are your plan, remember that this is a workshop only; there will be no assembly of glass during this time. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have your own Morton System, please bring it class, so you can make your marks on your board as we go. See Estelle or Melanie if you have any questions. More workshops will follow.
