Unlock your creativity with our fused and stained glass classes
On this stained glass beginners session you will make a simple 2-5 piece suncatcher/hanging decoration. You will be offered a selection of designs to choose from. I you finish you chosen piece with plenty of time to spare there will be a little something else you can do to fill the time.
You will be shown how to cut, grind, foil and solder the glass and then given time to have a little practice before starting on your piece to take home.
You will be able to take home your completed piece at the end of the session.
Cutting glass does require a bit of dexterity in your hands. If you are struggling on the day I have a range of cutters you can try and will be on hand to help you as needed.
PLEASE NOTE: Solder does include lead and is not recomended for those who are pregnant or breast feeding. If you would still like to try glass work why not try a fused glass session instead.
Longer sessions are also available - Full Day
Stained Glass Full Day
Full day of stained glass learning how to cut glass to a set design, use the grinder to smooth the edges, add copper foil to allow you to then solder your piece together.
All tools and meaterials included.
There will be a selection of designs to choose from that I am confident can be completed in the session. If you have an idea for your own design this would need to be agreed before the course date to ensure it is suitable.
At the end of the session you piece will be ready to take home with you.
PLEASE NOTE: Solder does include lead and is not recomended for those who are pregnant or breast feeding. If you would still like to try glass work why not try a fused glass session instead.
