Instructor Karen Deets has been a stained glass professional since 1977, and was the owner of Off the Wall Craft Gallery in Allentown NJ until 2008, where her work was sold exclusively.

 

The class will cover the 2 basic techniques of lead and copper foil. Students will make 4 pieces including 2 simple freeform lead window pieces, 1 simple copper foil piece, and a rectangular copper foil panel. In order to complete all projects and get the maximum benefit of instruction, students should plan on doing work at home in between classes. Therefore, a suitable home work area should be prepared.

 

Students must wear long pants and closed shoes, as well as safety goggles, which will be available for purchase. Safe work practices will be taught and practiced in the class. A mandatory safety and liability agreement must be read and signed.

 

The minimum age for participation is 14.

 

A non-refundable registration deposit of $30. will hold your place in the class. It will only be returned if the class is cancelled. A minimum of 2 is required to hold a class, with a maximum of 4. Class may be cancelled and rescheduled at Karen’s discretion in order to fill the class.

 PRIVATE LESSONS
 
The cost is $40. per hour.  This would be a good way to refresh your skills if you have not done glass in a while, or if you have some experience and want to improve your skills. Beginning instruction is also available with a minimum of 6 hours to be prepaid.. Scheduling is very flexible and would take place at my Allentown studio.
 
SUPPLIES 
 
I have available limited supplies to sell. Contact me with specific requests and I will let you know if I can help you. I can sometimes take orders if timing is right. I do not keep regular studio hours - appointment only.  I have some used grinders in very good condition available for sale. The motors are nearly indestructable and may out live many of us! I also have lots of small scraps suitrable for mosaic work!
 
SMALL GROUP DAYTIME
 
A group of 3 to 4 people can be accomodated during the daytime at my private studio. Scheduling is flexible and can be done as needed.  Costs are the same as the group classes at Bloomers.
