Workshop Details
An exciting two-day workshop with stained glass artist and experienced tutor Nicola Kantorowicz. Make a lovely stained glass panel to your own design. You will learn how to design a panel, select and cut glass, and cut and solder lead.
You will have a wonderful palette of coloured glass to choose from as well as patterns and books for inspiration. We will be working with traditional tools and materials and creating beautiful panels. Start with some basic cutting practise before going on to either create your own design for a panel or choose from a selection of prepared designs. You will learn how to cut glass using a cutline template; work with lead to assemble the panel and then solder and cement the panel to finish. The final cleaning stage is done at home after the workshop. There will be group demonstrations of techniques and individual guidance.
