Welcome — I'm thrilled to have you here.

This course is designed to take you from complete beginner to confident copper foil artist. Whether you've never touched a glass cutter or you've dabbled and want to sharpen your technique, you're in the right place.

What You'll Learn

• Tools & workspace setup — everything you need and how to organize it

• Glass cutting — straight lines, curves, inside cuts, and grinding

• Copper foil application — choosing foil, wrapping, burnishing, and fixing mistakes

• Soldering — flat beads, 3D joints, zinc came borders, and decorative effects

• Finishing — patina, cleaning, framing, and hanging your work

How to Get the Most Out of This Course

1. Go in order — each lesson builds on the previous one

2. Practice on scrap glass — muscle memory is everything in this craft

3. Ask questions in the Student Community chat — no question is too basic

4. Complete the final project — Lesson 22 walks you through a complete suncatcher build

Patience is the most important tool you own. Take your time at every stage, and the results will speak for themselves.

Head to Chapter 1, Lesson 1 — let's get started. 🔥

Copper foil stained glass is one of the most rewarding crafts you can learn. There's nothing like holding a finished panel up to the light and seeing your work come alive in color.

I've been teaching copper foil technique for years, and I've built this course to cover everything you need — from setting up your workspace to soldering your first complete panel.
