An Introduction to Stained Glass


Tutors; Pat Taylor and Becky Stewart

Make a simple geometric mirror using foil work , learn to cut and grind coloured glass correctly. If you enjoy this class, you may like to attend the two day leaded light workshop in April, where lead will be used to create a small window panel. All equipment will be provided all you need bring is a towel to work on. Only the raw materials of your choice need be purchased.

REQUIREMENTS LIST

an old towel or teacloth for cutting glass on

 

PHOTOS...

We nervously marked and cut and practiced on clear glass, none of us had ever done this before -

Then ground and foiled and tacked,
(gaining confidence now)

soldered (and had cake and tea) and washed
and polished....

and were we ever pleased
with our results!

Thank you Pat and Becky for a lovely day, we were all astounded by our achievements. See what a little encouragement and a lot of expert guidance can help you achieve...

the girls are back on the 12th March 2004 to make a simple lamp (this time incorporating curved cuts - so suitable for beginners and improvers) - then on the 2nd April 2004 for a leaded lights workshop, where you will be able to make a small window panel.
