The earliest forms of glassmaking occurred nearly 3,000 years ago, and colored window glass dates back 1,350 years; yet our fascination with the art form continues. In this class, discover the secrets of creating your own masterpiece from glass, learn stained glass terminology and study the history of the art. Through hands-on practice, participants will become familiar with modern tools, equipment and techniques while each student fabricates a unique 9x18 inch stained glass panel. This class requires standing and a certain amount of arm strength. 

Favorite OLLI instructor Kathy Carroll has crafted with glass for more than 40 years.

She has taught stained glass classes, as well as created commissioned work.
