Ever seen real flowers pressed in glass and wonder how its made? In this course we cover how to add pressed flowers/leaves into your stained-glass pieces, how to grow and press your own flowers, and all you need to know technique wise to make sure they come out beautifully! This is an intermediate class meant for folks who have either taken one of my beginner stained-glass classes or already know how to make stained-glass on your own. NOTE: we will make stained glass pressed flower honeycombs in this class to practice the technique - not the bat piece in the picture (it took over 20 hours to make that project, and is not possible in our 2 hour class together). However you will be able to take what we learn in this class and go on to know how to make a project like Lola bat in the picture on your own at home :)!
