Panel Lamp Class - Evening Option
Oct 01, 2008 06:00 PM
Cranberry Stained Glass Studio

Canadians may be known for our duct tape but in this course you’ll learn many useful applications for plain, black, electrician’s tape. For those of you with copper foil experience, here’s a chance for you to learn 3-dimensional construction techniques while making a beautiful and useful lamp.

Students can choose one of three, pre-selected panel lamp patterns. Over five weeks you’ll have the opportunity to perfect your cutting and soldering techniques while learning the ins and outs of spiders, vase caps, skirts, crowns, and other aspects of panel lamp construction. We’ll even introduce you to “George’s Arm”.

This course involves five, three-hour classes and, due to the individual nature of this project, there will be opportunities for unsupervised studio time, outside of scheduled class time, using our tools and equipment.

*Note: Please register no later than 24 hours in advance of a course, class or workshop to allow us adequate time for preparation and staffing. Thank you.

Dates: Wednesday Evenings: October 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29, 2008.
