Glass Mosaic and Suncatcher (Trodglen)

[DAP 12] This class is about building a glass mosaic that will allow light to come through, giving a stained glass effect. A picture frame with glass, 14×17 or larger, will be our canvas. We will use a sharpie or china pencil to measure and draw our design on the glass, then use paint, glass of all kinds, and copper tape called “came” to create our design. It is highly recommended that the student start with a large frame. Frames, broken glass and beads may be purchased at Goodwill, Last Chance, My Favorite Place and Scraplanta. Other suggested items: Sheets of glass, glass, plastic and pottery tiles of all shapes, shells, sea glass, broken china, beads, old and broken jewelry, or semiprecious stones. Small paintbrushes and bottles of Folk Art brand paint in the colors of the design you are making will be helpful and can Be purchased at Michael’s, Hobby Lobby or Walmart. Please make sure to buy black and metallic gold, silver, or bronze. I will cut the glass for the students. E6000 cle
