About this event

  • Event lasts 6 hours

Join local glass expert Chloe Weatherhead for a relaxed, fun and informal day, making your own glass 2D hanging project using the foiling method.

You will be carefully taken through all the processes, helping you to develop the skills of glass cutting, grinding, foiling and soldering.

Each participant will go home with the wonderful piece they have created in the workshop. Classes are suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some previous experience.

What does the course cover?

You will choose and cut your glass, learng the copper foiling technique and how to solder your foiled pieces together smoothly to assemble your final piece. There will be a maximum of 8 participants to ensure plenty of individual attention.

Note: This course involves working with lead solder, and for safety reasons we recommend that pregnant women do not attend.

What do I need to bring?

Just yourself and plenty of enthusiasm. We provide all materials, glass, copper foil, solder and tools for your day.

Please wear old clothes and close-toed shoes.

Cost: £65 per person, includes all materials and equipment use.

Organised by

The Craft House was established in 2016 in Saltaire by April Chamberlain, who continues to manage the business. Having started in Saltaire, The Craft House is now run from new, larger, premises at 109-111 Main Street, Bingley. We have a lovely ground floor cafe and welcoming workshop spaces on the first floor (reached by stairs with two handrails). We offer a vibrant programme of art, craft and textile workshops and courses for adults, enabling you to develop existing skills as well as try new activities. Working closely with a team of talented artist/maker tutors, we provide expertly-run classes in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. We cater for a range of skill levels, from first-time participants to people with existing skills (including other professional artists and makers looking to develop their techniques). Our emphasis is on encouraging creativity and enjoyment whilst passing on key skills. We also cater for private parties and events - please telephone us or call into the cafe to discuss. Please note that all our events are subject to us achieving minimum booking requirements, as we need to ensure they are commercially viable for our tutors - if we have to cancel an event, we will refund your ticket and give you as much notice as possible.
