Weekend Stained Glass Intensive Course - October
From Zero to Hero 4th & 5th October 2025
During this two-day workshop you will learn the traditional techniques necessary to craft your stained glass panel. The course begins with a brief overview of safety measures and beginners will gain confidence in glass cutting and tool usage, while experienced individuals can begin designing their panel right away.
It is advised that you give some thought to what you would like to make before you arrive as this will save you decision time whilst you design your panel with the option to draw inspiration from others' work or receive guidance as needed. You will be taught how to draw the cartoon for your design.
Materials are included and you can select from a wide range of coloured and textured glass. You will cut and grind the glass pieces to fit together. Think jigsaw with lead framework. You will then assemble the glass and lead followed by soldering the joints. Keep your focus and you will have time to cement your panel and clean it up.
Although students can create panels for various purposes, the workshop's timeframe allows for panels with up to ten pieces of glass, measuring up to A4 completed size If you want to make a larger project there will be a charge for additional materials used. Students can start during the workshop and continue at a weekly class, if there is available space or complete the panel at home. Prior communication with the tutor is advised.
