Stained Glass 3: Lead Came: Designing it Wright
Description
Find inspiration in the iconic stained glass windows of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In this eight-week course, students will study the geometric forms, organic motifs, repetition, and strong linear compositions characteristic of Wright’s Prairie-style windows, then apply these design principles to create an original leaded stained glass panel.
The course focuses on designing for and working with lead came, a traditional construction technique that provides the structural strength needed for stained glass windows exposed to outdoor elements. Students will build upon their foundational knowledge of lead came construction while developing a foundation for creating larger stained glass windows intended for permanent installation.
Final panels will be limited in size, up to 16×18 inches.
Class tuition includes 2 sessions of open-studio time to be used during the 8-week course to complete your panel and will be available for scheduling between weeks 4-6 of the class session.
Prerequisite: Stained Glass 2: Lead Came or 48 hours of similar class experience and instructor permission is required.
| Tuesdays, January 19 to March 16, 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM | Seats Remaining: 8 |
