The five session Foil Stained Glass Class is designed to teach the techniques, methods, tools and procedures commonly used in the production of stained glass art projects. Additionally, to teach and demonstrate the specific methods and procedures practiced and supported by the Stained Glass Shop of Palm Creek in the creation of all glass projects. To provide the opportunity for the students to directly apply the necessary techniques and methods in the advancement and development of their personal comfort and skill level in the production of a basic stained glass art project.
Upon retirement in 2001 my wife and I purchased our first motorhome with the intention to see the warm country during Wisconsin’s frozen season, hopefully to find our potential retirement community. We found Palm Creek for the first time that very first year and have been here since then. We ultimately upgraded that first motorhome in 2003 and became full time RVers for the next 13 years with every winter spent at PC.
In 2007 I was introduced to the Stained Glass room by Jim Benshof who was our PC neighbor, and took my first glass foil class. In about 2013 I was asked to assist Karen Henderson who was the foil class instructor at the time. I then began teaching the foil class in 2016 when Karen asked me to take it over after she had done it for 5 years.
