Course Description:
In a relaxed atmosphere, learn the Tiffany copper foil method and create a stained glass panel about 1 square foot in size. Put your creativity to the test and develop your design ideas with quick sketches and then into a full scale “cartoon.” Next, bring your drawing to life with shapes, colors and textures. Lastly, frame, patina, and wax your stained glass masterpiece.
Instructor: Michel L’Huillier
After studying Fine Arts and Art History in Strasbourg, France, I discovered my love for glass. I moved to Boston in 1995 and worked for eight years in a prominent stained glass studio. With almost 30 years of experience in working in the medium, I draw from three different techniques for architectural glass commission work: kiln-forming, fusing, and stained glass. I create functional fused glass objects with intricate colored inlays which are exhibited at juried craft shows: Craft Boston and Paradise City. In 2015 I received the Award of Distinction in Glass at the Craft Boston Holiday show. Since 2004 I have been sharing my passion for glass with adults, families and kids, while teaching stained glass, fusing, mosaic in studios and schools in the metro Boston area.
Class begins April 11, runs until May 23.
