Learn the traditional stained glass craft and make a unique panel or decorative mirror from scratch at this hands-on Bristol workshop. Guided by your passionate teacher from Creative Space, you'll experience how rewarding DIY glass art can be!
In this beginner-friendly class, we'll cover all the stained glass processes including glass cutting, leading, soldering, cementing and polishing your piece.

Choose from a large range of templates that will enable you to get a good grounding in the core skills, and finish your piece during the day ready to take home and show off! Learn about different types of glass and choose from a wide range of colours and textures to suit your style.
At the end of the workshop, you'll have your finished piece in hand, ready to display at home and impress your friends with your newfound stained glass skills. Come along and enjoy a creative activity that will leave you with a beautiful glass art masterpiece to cherish.

  • Due to the use of lead it is recommended that pregnant women do not attend.
  • Use of a soldering flux derived from animal fat is necessary for this workshop, so regrettably it is not vegan.
  • Minimum age requirement: 16.

  • 5/5 from Peter Otway, attended Jul 2026: Thoroughly enjoyed the glass lesson today. Karen is an excellent communicator and teacher. Everything needed to complete my panel project was supplied and I went proudly home with a wonderful stained glass panel and a new skill - that’s win win. I would highly recommend this day course.
  • 5/5 from Shirley Otway, attended Jul 2026: Wow. What a fun day. Karen is a great teacher, full of encouragement and enthusiasm. She has so much knowledge and helped all students with their needs. I was very nervous About being able to cut the glass as I have bad arthritis, but there was a special cutter for arthritic hands, and with great patience, helped me make my first beautiful piece of stained glass at the age of 70! Loved it. Thank you, Shirley.
