Glass: Stained Glass Wishing Star

This beginning Stained Glass class will introduce the participants to glass cutting, grinding, copper foiling, tinning, and constructing a three dimensional, open-center star.  It's  a fun challenge and when complete you'll take home a  beautiful ‘wishing star'.

Note:  Please cover up – no shorts or sandals!
