This engaging hands-on workshop teaches you to design and assemble a stunning three-dimensional stained glass flower using the copper foil method. You'll select from an extensive collection of pre-made stained glass petals and leaves, arrange them into your personal flower design, and then use copper foil wrapping and soldering to permanently bond the pieces together. Finally, you'll secure your completed flower onto a copper wire stem to create a freestanding sculptural piece.
