We’ll be creating a ~5×7 stained glass project. Participants are encouraged
to bring their own Glass cutter ($5 – ebay, amazon, Hobby Lobby, etc)
everything else will be provided.
We will be doing *two 4 Person classes* to learn how to create stained
glass. Sign ups are first come, first serve. If we exceed the sign ups

Please take in to consideration that there are 30+ members of the Makers.
It would be impossible to consider every member's schedule when planning a
class. Also, I'm sure the teacher has a busy schedule too. I'm sure Rachel
would be happy to share her skills with us again.
Obviously, I can't speak for her, but it seems highly unlikely that she'd
be all "No, if you can't come on the 11th I will NEVER do another stained
glass class."
In any case, I'm looking forward to it! Thanks Rachel!

Why would we record a class for people who can't attend if we're going to
do the class again?! And why would be record a class for people who can't
be there, if the people who are going PAID to be there?

In the past, several events had been recorded and I think its a fair question to ask if this one would be too. There is clearly a difference between a hands-on class where an instructor is showing you what to do and a video. I don't think paying for the hands-on portion is unreasonable even if the course is available online. You are effectively paying for someone to be able to answer your questions and critique your process. And the notion of recording a session while charging for participation would be very similar to what NYC Resistor and Alpha Labs do in NYC. There are numerous benefits, but I don't think John was questioning the rationale. He was just looking for a simple yes/no.

Hey guys!!!
I just noticed all the emails, sorry I haven't piped in earlier!
The classes for the 11th is only a start. As indicated in this thread,
there is an overwhelming want for this class. I plan on teaching this class
and more. There are many wonderful projects and techniques to be learned
through stained glass. We will just be scratching the surface. I am
looking forward to this class and many more.
Also, thank you Kara, for answering the questions I didn't see earlier :)

Kara,
I'm planning on having an assortment of Colors and textures for the
classes. But if you have a certain color or particular Color scheme in
mind, by all means, feel free to bring your own glass to work with. Now,
with that being said, please make sure the class is an "art" grade. I
suggest hobby lobby locally. Online, Delphiglass.com is your best bet.
Also, I believe Mary and Dan have found a source through amazon they are
buying glass for fusion. The fusion glass can be used for stained glass,
but only for small projects. The fusing glass is just slightly weaker than
normal "stained glass" glass. Spectrum is a great brand to start out with.
Look for describers such as opals, cathedral, transparents, baroque,
silvercoat, or waterglass just to name a few. Stay away from "rough rolled"
glass as a beginner, as it takes a more expert cutter to work with.
If there are any other questions I can answer before hand, please feel free
to contact me. I'm really looking forward to working with everyone again!
Irs been way too long since we had done classes.
I would also like to add, for everyone not able to schedule the 11th, I am
definitely open to any suggestions of when we schedule another class for
this panel. We will be working in the leaded came technique which is used
for larger scale panels and projects. Also, there is the copper foil
technique used for lamp shades and small Multi dimensional objects.....
boxes,ornaments, .... I plan on doing that after thanksgiving.
I look forward to everyones comments

Thanks for the resources Rachel! I have an allergy to cobalt (which is in
blue glass, and a whole bunch of other weird stuff) so I was trying to
decided if I need to get some gloves or something as a precaution.
When I ordered my glass cutter amazon recommended also buying glass oil,
but I didn't. Is that something I should have gotten with it?
I would love to learn how to do fused glass! I have a
few jewelry prices that are done that way.

I will not have my schedule for a little bit, I hope there will still be
spots open when I get my work schedule. If not, I guess I'll catch the
next one.
Oh, I have been looking up fused glass technique. The type of glass used
is usualy the same, and we can use the kiln to fuse. I have a list of
things on Amazon that I am going to buy to work on fused glass. When I get
the time and the supplies, I will let you know and we can see if we can
figure out fusing.

From everything I can find on their site, I don't really see anything that
details that kiln can't be used for glass. Looking into it further, glass
kilns typically have elements in the lid, or in the case of even heat kilns
they pretty much turn em upside down. The placement of the element is only
important when it comes to finer control over larger pieces above most
typical fused glass jewelry pieces. Most glass fusing is done in the
1300-1600 F range, while this kiln will go up to just a little over 2200 F.
If they stated anywhere that it isn't to be used for glass it likely
because it's a ceramics kiln and not one of their glass kilns. The only
real thing is, unless you're needing super fine control over some rather
large pieces of glass, then a ceramics kiln will work just fine for glass.
I suspect they want you to buy one of their fancy glass kilns instead.
Now this is all only when it comes to reading about it, so in practice may
be different, or someone with a little more know might be able to speak to
it better.
Thanks,
Daniel H.
