This class will be offered in Spring 2026

Give your stained-glass projects a professional finish! In this focused workshop, students will create 2–3 small copper-foiled projects while learning how to frame both geometric and organic designs.
Along the way, you’ll gain hands-on experience with three essential framing materials:
Zinc came – valued for its strength and durability
Lead U-came – known for its classic, flexible structure
Hobby came – a versatile option for a wide range of projects
Through practical, step-by-step instruction, you’ll discover how each material behaves and how to choose the right frame to support your future stained-glass designs. By the end of class, you’ll not only take home beautifully finished pieces, but also the skills and confidence to frame small to medium-sized projects with ease.
