WORKSHOP IS CANCELLED

Three-day Stained Glass Workshop

This three-day workshop begins with a discussion on the elements of design, glass cutting, use of tools such as lead, solder, flux, cutting boards, etc. Students are encouraged to bring a design of their own or select a design from Winkelman’s collection. During the long weekend, students will complete a 12” x 12” window, but options for a larger window are available for an additional materials fee.

The workshop is held in Winkelman’s garage to avail students access to his extensive equipment and is limited to eight students.

Winkelman began making stained glass windows as a necessity when restoring his 1913 craftsman bungalow in Seattle. At the time, he could not afford to have the eleven missing leaded glass windows replaced. So, he took a stained glass making class and began making the windows himself. Soon, friends and neighbors began asking him to make windows for them. Winkelman says: “that was 20 years ago, and the rest is history.” He credits his experience working with wood led to the construction of frames. His university art degree enhanced his design skills.

Chuck embraces the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th and early 20th century drawing inspiration from the works of architects Frank Lloyd Wright, Rennie Mackintosh, and Charles and Henry Greene. Winkelman’s recent exhibit in the Hoffman Gallery revealed his diverse artistic palette with the inclusion of Art Nouveau and pieces that do not fall in either camp.

He makes custom windows and sells his work in his on-line shop. Although retired, he says his ‘hobby’ and teaching take up more of his time.

Student Supply List:
Safety glasses. [If you wear regular glasses that will be OK]
Dry 1 ½” or 2” paint brush
