per personThe workshop in detail
Perfect for beginners, this session will guide you through the process of creating your own unique piece of stained glass.
Heather will begin by introducing herself and the art of stained glass, giving an insight into the tools and techniques she uses. You'll then dive into creating your design, choosing a style and colours that reflect your inspiration.Ā
The practical work begins with cutting and grinding the glass, where you'll learn to shape each piece with care and precision. From there you'll explore the copper foil technique, wrapping the edges of your glass in preparation for the next step.
Soldering brings your creation together as you fuse each piece into a cohesive design. Heather will guide you through this transformative stage, ensuring your artwork takes on a beautiful shape. Finally, you'll add the finishing touches - polishing your piece, applying an optional patina for a unique effect and preparing it for display!
Workshop location
The studio is easily accessible from London by public transport.

Practical information
Due to the lead content in solder, this workshop is not suitable for pregnant or nursing mothers. Recommended for ages 16 and above.Ā
While stained glass isnāt overly messy, we do use some chemicals that could stain, so it's better to play it safe and wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit dirty or bring your own apron. You can also bring your own protective gear (gloves, goggles,masks) if you would prefer to use your own.
