In this class, we explore leading, the original stained glass method dating back to the late 11th century! We share everything we know about this historic art form and its traditional stained glass leading techniques, beginning from initial design to final fabrication. In addition to learning leading, we cover techniques in floral pressing and how to use your finished panel as a negative while creating cyanotypes. Completing this class will leave you with a proper foundational skill set capable of scaling, designing, and fabricating successful future projects.

About the Tiffany Method: The Tiffany copper foil method, developed by Louis Comfort Tiffany in the late 19th century, changed the game for stained glass artists. Unlike the traditional lead came technique, which uses lead strips to join pieces of glass, the Tiffany method employs thin copper foil wrapped around each piece of glass, which is then soldered together. This allows for more intricate and delicate patterns, enabling artists to create more detailed glass panels. This class focuses on learning the foundational aspects of this method and provides the necessary information to scale, design, and pursue future projects.
