Stained Glass Class Waiver
I am so excited to have you join in the fun of stained glass making through one of my workshops. In addition to custom in-home workshops and events, I also host community pop-up workshops. These pop-up events are a special class that will walk you through creating a unique stained glass piece from start to finish in just about 2 hours!
There’s much to learn, and a lot of fun to be had. If you have any questions prior to the workshop, please let me know. I am here to support you as you take a new creative leap!
Note: Pop-up events are hosted by businesses in our community, and in addition to the safety waiver below, participants must also abide by the rules of each establishment. Say It With Glass, L.L.C. is not liable for injury related to activities that occur at host locations (businesses homes, or other community establishments) before, during and after the event.
All 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 Say It With Glass Designs, L.L.C. Students under the age of 18 must have approval from the instructor as well as a parent or guardian to enroll in stained glass classes.
Please carefully read the safety requirements and waiver below. Let me know if I can help answer any questions you may have about what to expect during your class. Contact me anytime at: sam@sayitwithglassdesigns.com

Stained Glass Class Safety Requirements
I would like for you to have an amazing experience, and your safety is my top priority. In order to help me in doing this, please help me by following the safety requirements below. Not adhering to the safety guidelines below can result in bodily harm (including but not limited to abrasions, cuts, burns, contact with harmful chemicals/substances), and or damaged or ruined property.
Always wear safety glasses, when cutting glass and using equipment. (provided)
Keep long hair tied back.
Do not wear articles of clothing or jewelry that hang off the body.
Avoid wearing synthetic fabrics. Clothing with 100% natural fibers is recommended.
Do not wear open toed or open heeled footwear (i.e., flip-flops, sandals or clogs). Clothing that covers the legs is recommended. (pants, slacks, tights, skirts)
Do not use any equipment without an instructor present.
When soldering, use safety gloves (provided at the event) and never place the soldering iron down on the table. Always use the holder provided.
Always 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)
Stained glass soldering is not recommended for pregnant women as the solder used contains lead.
Never consume food or drink while soldering or when applying chemical patinas. The greatest risk of lead exposure is through ingestion. With proper precautions however, working with stained glass solder is quite safe. Participants will use gloves and thoroughly wash hands after soldering and after coming in contact with chemical patinas. The soldering and patina station will be a NO FOOD zone.
