Discover the art of creating stunning stained glass windows in this immersive two-day workshop.
Perfect for beginners, this course covers the fundamentals of this ancient and heritage craft. Unlike many glass classes, I only take a maximum of two students on this workshop. This ensures personalized instruction and ample hands-on experience.
All necessary tools and materials are included in the course fee, and I have a beautiful selection of colored and textured glass to for you to work with.
Through step-by-step guidance and engaging challenges, you will learn to construct a stained glass panel approximately 25 x 25 cm in size. Key skills you will acquire include:
- Accurately cutting and shaping glass along curves and straight lines
- Applying lead surrounds
- Soldering, polishing, and cementing your panel
These techniques will empower you to confidently tackle your own small projects independently.
The workshop takes place in my studio in Bognor Regis, nestled in a serene, flower-filled setting that provides plenty of inspiration. Many students go on to create unique projects of their own after completing this course and I always offer a mentoring service to help you continue developing you skills should you wish to.
Join me and embark on a creative journey to master the timeless art of stained glass.
Stained Glass - Two Day intensive workshop
Make a stained glass window using traditional techniques. I will take you through all the processes needed to make a small stained glass panel from a selection of designs.
You will learn how to approach a design, measure, cut and handle glass safely. You will then select your design choice, colours and cut your coloured glass to size ready to assemble using lead. Once assembled, you will then solder, cement and prepare your panel for polishing.
