This is a 3-hour workshop for beginners for learning the “Tiffany foil method” of stained glass taught by glass artist, Marcy McAninch. The Tiffany method employs thin copper foil wrapped around each piece of glass, which is then soldered together. This allows for more intricate and delicate patterns, enabling artists to create more detailed glass panels. Using pre-cut pieces of glass, learn to foil and solder your own stained-glass keepsake to take home with you.

All supplies will be provided. Participants will be required to sign a safety waiver, wear provided eye protection, and wear long pants with closed-toe shoes.

Marcy McAninch of Riverwalk Glass was born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania and has always had a fascination with colored glass. Drawn towards the many antique stained windows glass seen in salvage and vintage stores, she decided to try her hand at making stained glass by taking a class in 2017.  She was immediately hooked and moved to Wilmington in 2018, where she took more classes to further her knowledge. She loves making glass art and recently focused on making 3-D stained glass pieces. She’s inspired by the colors and beauty of our coastal town and by the many artists that call Wilmington home.
