AUGUST 10-16, 2026 WILDACRES - WEEK 1
STEPHANIE DANZ - STAINED GLASS COMBINATION - SOFT SOLDERING, TRADITIONAL STAINED GLASS, BOX
Class Name: Stained Glass Combination - Soft soldering, traditional stained glass, box
Class Description:
Creative Jewelry—A different approach to creating silver pieces you'll be proud to wear! We'll experiment with lead free solder using our imagination to create one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry! It will be a fun class exploring and stretching our imagination. Earrings, a pendant, and more on the horizon! If you have any baubles you'd like to include, feel free to bring them. Or any pottery that holds sentimental value for you, is also encouraged.
This class will encompass a few different projects depending on your glass interest. Soft soldering will include using your imagination to create some very cool jewelry (earrings, pendants, bracelets). You'll have the opportunity to also create a panel to take home using the Tiffany Method. I'm including making a treasure box because there has been much interest in my boxes with decorative soldering and embellishments (crystals, charms, seed beads, etc.).
At the end of the week, you'll be amazed at what you've created! Always a fun and productive class! Hope to see you!
Please wear closed toed shoes.
Class Fee: $300
Prerequisites: None
Bio:
Stephanie Danz - Soft Soldering
Stephanie has loved West Virginia and the New River area since first visiting in 1974. Having made West Virginia her home 36 years ago and submerging herself in her newly formed stained glass business, Mountain Art Glass, she has enjoyed so many experiences.
Her long-time relationship with Tamarack and all who make it what it is, has been rewarding and educational. Demonstrations have afforded her beneficial opportunities of getting to know the staff and meeting new and interesting people, artists and those “traveling through”!
Today, Stephanie is the Artist/Owner of Mountain Art Glass in Fayetteville where she teaches the art of stained glass and creates her one of a kind pieces, including original designed commissions. In the past, juried art fairs have been a part of her schedule including Mountain State Arts and Craft Fair at Cedar Lakes, Kentucky Crafted, Winterfair in Ohio and shows at Tamarack and the West Virginia State Fair to name a few. Sales to Japan and Canada have been great experiences. With her unique kaleidoscopes, Stephanie does presentations in local schools teaching about art and the fun you can have creating it.
The local Fayetteville community with its rich history and broad spectrum of experience has become home. Stephanie enjoys not only what the community offers in the sense of support, but also, the various activities and events where residents congregate to enjoy art, food and friendship. A comfortable family oriented community where she’s proud to live and create!
Stephanie’s work, including her unique and one of a kind jewelry, is available at Tamarack, Canyon Rim Visitor Center, Studio B and several others venues in West Virginia and around the United States. Or you can view her work at www.facebook.com/mountainartglass
