Design & Create: A Full-Day Stained Glass Immersion
Immerse yourself for a full day in the radiant world of stained glass. This six-hour workshop offers a deep and rewarding creative journey, guiding you from a blank page to a finished, custom-designed glass panel that you will lead, solder, and cement yourself.
This is your chance to move beyond a pre-made pattern and become the designer. Under the patient guidance of expert artist Kirsty Brooks, you will learn to translate your inspiration into a workable design for a 5-6 piece hanging panel. You will then master the traditional techniques that bring it to life:
- Confident Glass Cutting: Selecting and skilfully cutting your chosen coloured and textured glass.
- The Leaded Technique: Shaping and fitting the lead came to hold your design together.
- Soldering & Cementing: The final, satisfying stages of joining and waterproofing your panel for durability and display.
This course is perfect for complete beginners and colour enthusiasts alike, with one-to-one and group tuition ensuring you learn at your own pace. All materials are provided, including a wonderful selection of glass to spark your creativity.
Leave not just with a beautiful, translucent heirloom for your home, but with the profound satisfaction of having worked a centuries-old craft from concept to completion.
