Outdoor Garden Art (Came Method)- April 26th & 27th
Unlike the copper foil or “Tiffany Method” (made popular by the Tiffany lamp), came work is most well known for its use in church windows, and other structures in need of weatherproofing and stability such as transoms and even doors.
In this two-day class, participants will learn the basics of not only glass cutting, but also how to construct a simple piece in this method. Unlike copper foil, which uses specialized tape adhered to glass pieces, this method uses metal channels to hold the glass in place, and requires only a little bit of soldering. (don’t worry, you still get to stare into the molten void some)
The best part (in our opinion) comes at the end, when the piece is cemented into its channels, making it more durable and weatherproof.
For this project, participants can choose to create a medium sized hanging rectangular piece (perfect for exterior use), or an outdoor plant stake approximately 3" x 23-1/2". Not only do these pieces look beautiful, but they are functional too as they can double as exterior house number plaques.
How is this class different from other studio offerings?
This class is a much deeper dive than our other classes, however all skill levels and abilities are welcome. This class will utilize original designs, and design support for those who have an idea for their design. You’ll receive more information upon registration. This class will incorporate cutting glass, grinding, learning to stretch and cut lead came, soldering, and application of lead came cementing. If you’re looking for a more thorough first introduction to glass, or for those have done a social class and are looking to expand your skills, then this one’s for you!
Includes:
All necessary safety equipment, glass, tools, and 2 pattern choices, and hardware provided
4+ hours of individual instruction each day and support in a small class size
Your own finished piece to take home at the end of day 2!
Additional Details:
Each participant must register and complete the class waiver at check-out. If you are purchasing a ticket for a friend as a surprise, they can complete their waiver online here.
Beverages not included in workshop fee, but we have a wide variety of tasty local brews, as well as wine, juice, and coffee! Feel free to bring outside food, although we have lots of small snacks for munching too or frequent our neighbors at The Flying Pierogi (they’ll even walk it over to you).

All classes take place at 101 Two Hills Drive Unit 180, Carrboro NC rain or shine!
