Stained Glass — Suncatchers Workshop
“Dip your toes” into stained glass and see if it’s a craft for you. Learn how to use tools to shape and grind the glass, apply copper foil and solder your pieces back together. Choose your colors and your projects from the patterns provided. You will take home three to four finished pieces. All supplies provided.
Class requirements
• Please wear clothing with a smooth hard finished surface, like denim or t-shirt knit. Glass chips will stick in sweaters, fleece or lace.
• Best to wear shirts with a high neckline.
• Shoes should not have open toes, or open tops (like a slip-on), also leather is better than a mesh that would catch glass chips.

Instructor
Lisa a B.A. in Psychology from the U of M and an M.B.A. from the University of St. Thomas. She works full-time as an personal assistant, but has been doing stained glass on the side for over 40 years. In high school, she took every art class she could from Art History and Architecture. Then she took a Community Ed class in stained glass (a course not offered in the school curriculum). It was the perfect combination of art and craft. She drew her first window design on a napkin and it turned out so cool; she was hooked.
Over the years,she has made hundreds of windows from suncatchers to large installations. In 2006, she completed two window walls in a church in Cameroun, Africa that were 36' long by 8' high. In 2018, she went back to Africa to install seventeen panels she made in Minnesota the previous year. She has been teaching community ed classes for the past six years now and loves getting other people enthusiastic about the art.
Lisa lives in Columbus,MN . She is married and has two grown sons and two grandsons.
