Join us for a fun workshop learning the Tiffany style of Stained Glass to make a beautiful lantern.
These lanterns are perfect to use anywhere but particularly beautiful outdoors in the evenings and if you use a citronella candle it will even keep the biting beasties away!
Using the Tiffany method of copper foiling, you will make 2 panels to replace the plain, clear glass in an IKEA lantern.
Copper foiling is ideal for more delicate and less heavy designs, allowing smaller pieces to be used. Join tutor Sharon for a fun day and leave at the end of the workshop with a beautiful copper foiled stained glass
After a short health & safety briefing, you will learn:
  • how to prepare and cut glass
  • how to apply an adhesive backed copper tape known as foiling
  • burnishing and fluxing
  • how to solder pieces together
  • finishing and polishing
You will make 2 panels from a selection of designs provided by the tutor.
This workshop is aimed at beginners and those who have some experience of glass cutting and looking to develop their skills further.
Note: Customers must wear closed-toe shoes, you will be using sharp tools and hot soldering irons. For these reasons, there is an age limit of over 18s only, and it is not suitable for pregnant women due to the lead-based solder used.

Launched in 2014, Lechlade Craft Barn was created by Karen Holland and is based in an old stone barn at Karen’s Cotswold home in the beautiful market town of Lechlade-on-Thames. Lechlade is on the borders of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire not far from Cirencester, Burford and Swindon. The barn is full of character and inspiration, a perfect environment to get crafty!
Karen wanted to share her passion for crafting with others and starting with just 3 or 4 different workshops the demand for more crafting soon increased. Led by Karen and her team of talented tutors there is a wide range of affordable craft workshops to choose from such as crochet, mosaics, lampshade making, block printing, silversmithing, bookbinding, lino cutting, stained glass, pyrography, silver clay, and much more.
All workshops are aimed at beginners and upwards – whether you’re exploring a craft for the first time or topping up existing skills, each workshop is fun and relaxed. Craft your way to happiness with a craft barn workshop or one of the kits available to make at home.
Crafty Parties are a great way to spend fun time with friends or family celebrating a birthday or hen party. Spend a couple of hours or a whole day, even those non-crafty friends enjoy themselves!
Karen has been making things since a small child. At primary school she made a needle case for the Christmas Bazaar, bought it herself and is still using it 50 years later! Having learned how to knit, crochet, and sew at a young age, Karen was making her own clothes by the age of 11.
We all have busy lives, families and work commitments that all take priority. During the Pandemic we found crafting the perfect boost needed for everyone's wellbeing and we should be giving ourselves a little 'me' time to unwind. What better way to do it than crafting!
You're never too old to learn a new skill. Karen has just taught her mother to crochet at the age of 84!
