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).

With this abundance of funds, we have shifted our plan slightly. We will be buying MULTIPLE breakfasts for MIWRC from Burritos el Patron, and ALSO meals from Tacos El Kevin, which has also seen their business affected by the ICE occupation. If you want to continue to fund this effort, please do.

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!

A pale hand holds a silver pendant in the shape of a blobby loop. In the middle is a quartz point, below it are two flat blue/green/purple pearls.

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'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

A white person (me) with brown hair, a goatee, glasses (with clip-on shaded lenses flipped up), and a black and yellow shirt smiles as they sit behind a lit torch with rods of glass arrayed on the table in front of them. The flame of the glass torch is blue. A very small kiln full of very tine glass figurines, including a lot of slugs and some fried eggs
