Glass Applique - a new technique you can learn in a day
Description
Glass applique is perhaps the simplest form of stained glass making, since it involves glueing the glass shapes onto a base sheet of clear glass, rather than connecting each piece with a lead came. Once the panel has all of its pieces glued down, a grout is laid over the entire panels and then wiped away where the glass pieces are set. You will learn how to make stunning glass panels, how to design your panel and also how the cut glass. sample designs will be available but students are encouraged to seek a suitable design of their own. At the end of the day, you'll leave with at least one glass panel and maybe more.
