Teaching
This day long courses run from 10-5pm. You will learn how to construct a traditional leaded panel. The course includes learning to cut different types of glass, designing your own small panel (with support if required) between A4- A3 size and using lead and solder techniques to construct and complete your piece. No previous experience is necessary and all specialist equipment required materials included in workshop. I welcome back returners to create a more complex piece and learning and developing further stained glass skills.
Come and create a beautiful colour ladder of glass that you can display in your home or your garden. This is a new half day course I am running from my workshop in Ormiston. Select from my lovely offcuts of glass and i will teach you how to cut the different types of glass and use traditional lead to create a framework. Copper hooks can be soldered to the top of the ladder so that chain or string can be attached to suspend the piece in front of a window or on a tree- you can decide
Following on from a successful 3 day intensive Summer school at Dukes this year, In 2027 join me in my own workshop at Ormiston for an intensive 3 day stained glass. This workshop will include time for you to experiment with various techniques of glass painting, enameling and silver stain, an opportunity to develop a series of painterly marks or traditional images on glass. Then using lead along with a range of coloured glass create a stained glass panel around 50cmx40cm. This could be the opportunity to gain experience a new skill and create something for your home. Designs and templates can be supplied but i am also happy to guide you to create your own design to complete within the time frame of the course. All materials and use of specialist equipment is included in the course fee. course is limited to 3 participants with no previous glass experience required. An early bird discount is available until 30/4/27. For prices see drop menu "future workshops."
