3D Stained Glass (Intermediate): 3D Stars
with Kelli Wildman
Welcome back to the Stained Glass shop!
Want to try something a little more interesting than a flat stained glass panel or a suncatcher? Try a 3D star! It's a fairly straight-forward design that is great for using up your scrap glass and makes for excellent desk ornaments or gifts to others! You just get to have the challenge of defying gravity at times for this project.
Prerequisite: Prior attendance to Intro to Stained Glass course and/or prior personal experience doing stained glass
COST: $85 for non-members, 25% off for members!
After this class, you will:
- Know how to solder together 3D decorative objects

CANCELLATION POLICY
If you need to cancel your RSVP, the following policy applies:
- 2+ days away: full refund, please contact instructor for refund instructions.
- Less than 2 days: no refund*, your registration is non-transferable and is considered a donation to the shop
Cancellation does not automatically get you an opportunity to reschedule. Any rescheduling is subject to existing class availability and instructor's discretion.
NO-SHOW POLICY
A no-show with no proof of timestamped attempted contact prior to the start of the class will forfeit the class fees and the funds will be considered a donation to TinkerMill, even if due to illness. Even if the instructor does not get the message before class, if there is a timestamp to show there was an attempt, it'll count as prior contact. This can be via email, Slack message, carrier pigeon, etc.
* If the need to cancel or a no-show is beyond your control, please speak with the instructor to discuss. Resolution is subject to instructor's discretion.
ATTIRE - COME PREPARED:
Closed-toed shoes and pants (or wearing a lap covering like an apron) long enough to cover down to your knees at a minimum are required for safety reasons. There is always a risk of hot solder splatter or glass shards as projectiles while creating stained glass art.
It is very easy to get minor cuts on your hands during glass work. We have a first aid kit and bandages on hand, but please note that you may get nicks or cuts on your hands or fingers during this class. If you have a medical bleeding disorder or similar health risk with skin wounds, please keep this notice in mind
AGE RESTRICTION:
Class is open to anyone 18+ or those between ages of 14-17 with a parent/guardian is also in attendance as another attendee. No exceptions.
TOXIC MATERIALS WARNING:
This craft and class typically involves physical contact with LEAD, a material known to potentially cause bodily and/or reproductive harm with certain exposures, especially if ingested. We have a heavy-metals removing hand soap available in the shop for handwashing, as well as nitrile gloves available if you wish to eliminate/reduce physical contact with the solder entirely (typical solder we use is a mix of 60% lead and 40% tin). Feel free to bring gloves of your own if you wish, but you will need finger dexterity (so nitrile-dipped gloves are good, heavy leather work gloves are a bad idea).
Notes:
If you think you'll need it, please bring a snack with you, as we do not have any to give out. If you bring a beverage, make sure it's a water bottle or a beverage container with a lid or cap. You can refill water bottles here!
