1 Monday, April 13, 12:00 - 4:00 pm Stained Glass - Abstract Teardrop Taught by Maureen Coughlan, 17+ $44 Member / $48 Non-member Create a suncatcher but we will add slices of agate, shells, and nuggets to decorate it more. This class will start from cutting, then grinding (to make the edges smooth), wrap with foil, then solder it all together. We will finish up by washing it and protecting it so you may enjoy it for years and years! You'll be guided through each step of the process— foiling, soldering, polishing, and adding a chain—while gaining confidence with tools and techniques used in stained glass work. The teacher will be cutting and grinding the glass prior to class for safety reasons. This is a beginner’s class. By the end of class, you’ll go home with a dazzling, sun-catching piece ready to hang in your window. There is a $25 materials fee which can be paid to the instructor at the start of class - cash or Venmo, please. No experience needed—all materials provided! The Newark Arts Alliance will retain a $5 cancellation fee if a student withdraws from a class. Maureen took her first glass class in 2004 to create a simple suncatcher—and she hasn’t stopped since. Over the past 20+ years, her love for glass has grown into a passion, evolving into a wide range of work including suncatchers, wind chimes, panels, and intricate stained glass lamps.
