Stained Glass: Sunflower Suncatcher

Burritt on the Mountain invites adults to spend a Saturday creating a cheerful sunflower suncatcher in stained glass. This hands-on workshop guides participants through cutting and assembling a two-layered glass sunflower that's designed to catch the light beautifully when hung in a window. While the double-layer technique might sound advanced, instructor Karen Reed has structured the class so that even those who've only worked with glass a handful of times can successfully complete the project. You'll leave with both a finished piece and new skills in glass cutting and assembly. The workshop runs from 9:00am to 2:00pm on Saturday, August 15th, at Burritt on the Mountain. The total cost is $120, which includes a $95 tuition fee and a $25 supply fee covering all materials. Students should wear closed-toed shoes and come ready to work. Registration closes on August 8th at 5:00pm, and this class is designed for participants 19 years and older. Karen Reed, who teaches the workshop, brings over 40 years of art glass experience to the table—her work has appeared in White House Christmas displays and galleries across several states, and she's been teaching at folk schools nationwide for years. Keep in mind that 25% of the registration fee is non-refundable, and full refunds are only available for cancellations made 30 days or more before the workshop date. It's a worthwhile day trip that combines mountain views with a meaningful creative project to brighten your home.
