Full Day Beginner Stained Glass Workshop

The perfect introduction to the tiffany foiling method, learning to create a beautiful suncatcher

7 hr
135 British pounds
The Hawthorns

Service Description

In this session, I will guide you through some of the basic principles of designing and working with glass to create a beautiful suncatcher window hanging from a choice of designs I have prepared for you. These include gorgeous landscapes to capture the essence of the lakes and mountains, sunrises, flowers or even a hot air balloon! All tools, materials and safety equipment will be provided. However, due to the nature of the craft, please can you ensure you are wearing closed shoes (no sandals, crocs or sling-backs) and that long hair is tied back. If you wear reading glasses, it is also advisable to bring these for the close detail work!! As the soldering process does involve lead based products, it is not advisable for pregnant women to attend and children between the ages of 16 & 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. A little about your tutor: Kate is a professional glass artist with over 30 years of experience working with both the tiffany and leadlight techniques of stained glass. She moved to Cumbria 5 years ago, and was so inspired by the beauty and heritage of the county that she then set up her company North Lakes Stained Glass, and now sells her landscape and nature work online nationally and internationally, as well as at craft fairs and a number of art galleries around the region, including our own. Her workshop is based here in Keswick, and she is soon to be one of the featured artists on the BBC TV show ‘Make It At Market’ that is to be aired in the Autumn of 2024.
