Safety Requirements

  • Always wear safety glasses, when cutting glass and using equipment. (provided)
  • Keep long hair tied back.
  • Do not wear loose articles of clothing or jewelry that may hang off the body.
  • Avoid wearing synthetic fabrics. Clothing with 100% natural fibers (such as cotton) is recommended.
  • Do not wear open-toed, open-heeled, or thin-soled footwear (i.e., flip-flops, sandals, flats). Clothing that covers the legs and covers the tops of the shoes is recommended. (pants, slacks, tights, skirts).
  • Do not use any equipment without an instructor present.
  • Soldering irons can get extremely hot. When soldering, never place the soldering iron down on the table.  Always use the holder provided. Take care to not touch metal components of the soldering iron even after they are unplugged.
  • Solder in a well-ventilated area and take care to wear gloves when applying chemicals such as flux and patina. Ventilation equipment or an outdoor soldering space will be provided upon request for the group.
  • Stained glass soldering is not recommended for pregnant women as the solder used contains lead. If you are pregnant, please notify the instructor for a refund or reschedule.
  • Never consume food or drink during the class including when soldering. The greatest risk of lead exposure is through ingestion. With proper precautions however, working with stained glass solder is safe. Participants will use available gloves and thoroughly wash hands after soldering. The shop in which the class is held will be a NO FOOD zone. 

Stained glass class participants are required to complete and sign a liability waiver, and read and agree to abide by the safety procedures as outlined by Samuel Stanton. Participants under the age of 18 must have approval from the instructor as well as a parent or guardian to enroll in stained glass classes and complete the required minor waiver.
