    Glasstronomy Studios 2600 John St., Unit 108, Markham, ON, Canada

    Inspired by the latest trends in decorative animal lamps, this four-week advanced course focuses on mastering both form and function while creating a Tiffany-style stained glass animal lamp approximately 6-inch x 6-inch x 10-inch. Designed for experienced glass artists seeking a rewarding challenge, this project moves beyond flat construction into fully realized three-dimensional form. Both challenging and delightful, participants will design and construct a custom three-dimensional armature that support curved, organic animal shapes. Emphasis will be placed on structure, balance, and colour selection, ensuring each lamp is both visually engaging and structurally sound. Drawing inspiration from our favourite animal friends — such as owls, foxes, turtles, cats, and other expressive forms — participants will refine advanced copper-foil and soldering techniques while learning how to manage multi-plane construction. These playful yet sophisticated lamps are sure to bring a smile and light up the dark corners of the season. All project materials and hardware are included. No beginners, please.

  • WORKSHOP | G313 | Decorative soldering: Tree of knowledge

    Glasstronomy Studios 2600 John St., Unit 108, Markham, ON, Canada

    Beyond the bead: Soldering techniques and surface effects Does your solder spit or pit? Are you struggling to form a smooth, even bead? A clear understanding of how solder and flux interact can transform the soldering process — eliminating common frustrations while opening the door to expressive decorative techniques and sculptural possibilities. In this focused two-hour workshop, participants will explore best practices for soldering maintenance, proper flux use, and controlled solder application. Through guided demonstrations, participants will learn how to achieve clean seams and develop a range of decorative solder finishes, including hammered, bamboo, and pearl textures. Participants will also be introduced to methods for stamping and sculpting solder, expanding its potential beyond structural joins into a decorative design element. Using glass bevels and 60/40 solder, each participant will create a small 4-inch × 4-inch Tree of knowledge panel that showcases several of the techniques explored during the session. All project materials are included. When: Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 10 am to 12 pm Fee: $95 + HST (includes all project materials) Beginners are welcome! Limit: 8 persons
