Leaded Glass - August 22 & 23
Intermediate stained glass artists can immerse themselves in a two day class focused on the traditional lead came method, taught by Master Artisan Dan Hayward of the PA Guild of Craftsman. The course explains how this time honored technique, common in large church installations, differs from copper foil work. Instead of foiling, each piece of glass is separated by lead came, and the panel is built sequentially from a lower corner to the opposite upper corner with the lead anchored along the way. Soldering occurs only where lead meets lead after the full panel is assembled, and the finish involves working a specialized cement under the edges of the came. The class is designed for participants with prior stained glass experience, especially those who have created copper foil panels and want to explore this older approach. Several patterns and a broad selection of glass are provided for selection, and makers with substantial experience may bring a self designed pattern for review in advance. Throughout, Dan offers step by step guidance and individual assistance through assembly.

This specialty wedding yard sale brings together newlyweds, DIY makers, wedding planners, and small businesses to buy and sell gently used and handmade wedding items at budget friendly prices. Expect flea market style vendor tables featuring décor, card boxes, signage, wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses, vintage finds, handmade pieces, and more, all aimed at helping couples create their day without overspending.

Private party newlyweds and hobby or craft sellers can reserve a table for $30, with the option to add extra tables for $20 each that will be placed side by side. Commercial sellers pay $150. Fees are nonrefundable, and bringing small bills and coins to make change is recommended. Shoppers can choose between Early Bird and General Admission tickets, priced at $20 and $7 respectively, with no refunds. Because this event is very popular, lines may form and crowds can be large, and sellers may sell out before the event ends. Attending with a friend or family member can make loading purchases easier. If trying on gowns, wearing leggings or other fitted clothing helps, and avoiding makeup or heavy perfume is appreciated. Many vendors accept cash only, so having small bills speeds up purchases. Entry lines take place outdoors, rain or shine, so plan for the weather.
