Learn to Cut Glass
After a quick overview of the tools and process involved in making a Glass Light Catcher, you will practice using a glass cutter to cut both straight lines and curves
Choosing Your Pattern & Coloured Glass
One you have a handle on basic cutting, you will choose your Light Catcher Pattern and the colours and textures of glass you want to use. We have a huge range of glass textures and shapes for you to choose from to make your light catcher your own!
Refining the Shape of Glass with a Grinder
As you work some pieces of glass may need to be refined a little bit to make them fit properly in your pattern, you will be guided in how to use one of our grinders to make sure that every piece fits perfectly!
Copper Foiling Your Glass
Once you have cut all of your glass pieces and made them fit your pattern, you will wrap each piece in copper foil ready to be soldered together
Soldering Your Light Catcher
You will learn how to use a soldering iron, flux and solder to permanently join your glass together in a strong light catcher
Clean & Display
Finally you will clean the flux and gunk off so that your brand new light catcher is ready to sparkle in your window at home!
