Question 2

I can't make the workshop, can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

There are no refunds, however you can reschedule anytime and you can also transfer a ticket to a friend.

Question 3

I am a beginner, can I take any workshop?

Accepted Answer

All workshops are beginner friendly, however they do increase in skill level therefore taking a level 4 class as a beginner can be overwhelming for some. We recommend taking the Level 0 and Level 1 classes before jumping levels. If you do jump levels, you are welcomed to, however please keep in mind that you need to finish within the allocated time, otherwise you will have the option to finish your sun catcher during a drop in session ($55 for 2.5hrs).

Question 7

Do we paint on glass?

Accepted Answer

We do not paint or stain glass since we do not have a kiln at the moment. The workshops consist of cutting and grinding glass, then wrapping those pieces of glass with copper foil tape. Finally we solder (melt metal which is comprised of 40% tin and 60% lead) the pieces together. Note to pregnant people - please see safety requirements here.(https://www.angieoko.com/safetytrainingvideo)

Question 8

Are the workshops safe?

Accepted Answer

Stained glass requires a lot of safety protocols. In class we cut glass therefore you are provided with gloves and safety goggles. We also solder or melt lead (solder) therefore the space is equipped with HEPA filtered ventilation system to remove toxic fumes when burning flux. Please refer to our safety page (https://www.angieoko.com/safetytrainingvideo)and sign the liability waiver (https://www.angieoko.com/liabilitywaiver)before purchasing tickets (especially important for pregnant people).
