An introduction to the craft of making a stained glass panel.
The decorative leadlight or stained glass window you make will be approx 300 mm x 300 mm.
You will start by drawing up a full size working drawing called a cut line. Choose from a selection of our standard patterns or come with your own design ideas.
You will learn how to cut glass with full instructions and support. Giving you an understanding of types of glass and different cutting techniques required for your project.
Once the panel has been cut fully, glass painting if required may be added and kiln fired over night, I will then teach the art of leading the panel together and soldering to complete the finished panel.
With the final window complete, the process of weather proofing and adding additional strength begins with the use of lead light cement. This process can be messy so old clothes are advised to be worn. The window will be left to dry and I will clean and polish ready for collection from the studio a couple of days after the workshop, at a time suitable for you.
Enjoy the rewarding craft and make some art glass you will cherish for years to come.
