Stained Glass — Copperfoil Panel
Under the guidance of a seasoned stained glass artisan, students will be scoring and breaking glass, grinding and soldering everything back together. Search the internet or design your own. Come to the first class with three to five design ideas for discussion. You will be using the copperfoil method of assembly. At the end of the course you will have the skills and tools to continue making works of art glass on your own. All the tools and supplies needed will be discussed at the first class and will cost between $130 and $160.
- 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.
