My second project with stained glass. This time using copper foil. Not sure which I prefer, Lead came vs copper foil. Overall satisfied with my results and the glass texture choice of this one. Class taken at CAFAC in south Minneapolis #copperfoil #stainedglass #CAFAC

I got to play with more soft soldering during a skillshare at CAFAC this past weekend thanks to Annemarie (Luna Sub Rosa). Getting the blobs round and not pointy was a challenge but I'm really happy with the result!

I took a class on how to do lead came stained glass recently and I'm really happy with how my piece turned out! Class was at CAFAC in mpls (where I also teach copper foil stained glass and boro).

nora is talking about doing fused glass stuff (since that's what they do for a living) and how it's kind of a pain in the ass when you're doing it solo due to costs

i realized in minneapolis we have www.cafac.org which might have that? they def have glass classes and i've seen ppl make beads there

I've been hella busy moving the past while (and also forgetting to post on here) but I finally got back on the torch yesterday and it felt so, so good. Eternally grateful that I can work out of CAFAC while I'm in the process of setting up my new home studio

Áss! There's actually a nonprofit #blacksmithing creative project not far from me!

Just learned that "áss" is an interjection meaning "a god," equivalent to "holy crap!" or "oh!" so I'm … going to start using it. Any resident #OldNorse scholars are urged to correct me on this. #LanguageLearning
