Are you looking for something fun and relaxing to try? Something creative and inspiring?
During the day we will be making a stained glass suncatcher using the copper foil technique also known as the Tiffany technique. We will have plenty of time to play with colour and shape, creating lovely items that you will be able to take home and cherish.
You will learn how to cut and shape glass to make designs for useful and decorative items. You will be introduced to the art of stained glass, learning the basic techniques required to make a small stained glass suncatcher. The size has been chosen to enable completion during the course. You will be able to choose from a range of designs or you can choose to make your own design based on around 5/6 pieces.
You will learn:
• To make a pattern or cartoon
• To cut glass into desired shapes
• To wrap each piece with copperfoil and solder the pieces together
• To finish off the suncatcher with patina and polish
Those who already have knowledge of the basic skills will have the opportunity to improve their technique, increasing their confidence in designing their own work.
This course is for anyone who has an interest in glass techniques and/or beginners looking for a new creative hobby that is both rewarding and therapeutic. No previous knowledge and experience needed.
During the course, I will provide small group demonstrations and individual support to ensure that learners can work at their own level and at their own pace.
Please note, this is a repeat of last years Stained Glass Suncatcher Workshop
