Lead Warning and Prop 65. https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/fact-sheets/lead-and-lead-compounds

Lead is on the Proposition 65 list because it can cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Exposure to lead during pregnancy can affect brain development and cause learning and behavior problems for the child. Exposure to lead can harm the reproductive systems of men and women. 

Traditional leaded panes or Tiffany copper foil— lead is a key component is stained glass. No matter the technique, we use lead to solder the seams and hold our glass together. While there are lead-free solder alternatives, we will use leaded solder in class. Why lead?

PPE: We will Provide gloves, disposable face masks, and proper ventilation. If you’d like to bring in a respirator for flux fumes, make sure it is rated for VAPOR. With Proper PPE the risks for lead poisoning are small. If you have any health concerns please reach out to your health provider or us.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

We know life happens! But our classes are intentionally small, our instructors are paid by enrollment, and materials are prepped ahead — so please make sure you can commit before booking. Here's how it works:

Single-session classes

• 14+ days out: Full refund (minus a $20 cancellation fee) or 100% credit toward a future class.

• Inside 14 days: No refunds, but you'll get full credit toward another class.

• Less than 48 hours / no-shows: Payment is forfeited. No refunds or credit, no exceptions.

• The same windows apply to rescheduling.

Multi-week courses

• Non-refundable, but can be transferred to a friend or converted to class credit within a year of booking.

• We don't offer make-up classes. If you miss a regular week or feel behind, you're welcome to join us for Open Studio at the current student rate ($15 for 3 hours). 

• Please don't sign up if you already know you'll miss multiple weeks. In general, missing one class is okay, two is a little hairy.

• Each week we learn a new skill that builds toward your finished project. Some skills are easy to catch up on. Others, like soldering, are critical and take the whole class session to teach. Missing a critical skills week may mean you can't finish your project without private instruction you'll need to make it up with an instructor at our private rate ($135/hr) scheduling depends on instructor and workbench availability.

Age Requirements

• Participants must be at least 13 years old unless otherwise noted in the class description. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a participating (registered and paid) guardian.
