Leaded Stained Glass Workshop

Join tutor Sharon of Maybug Studio in the creative space at the Craft Barn for a workshop taking you through the steps for creating a Leaded Stained Glass panel. This is a busy full-day workshop that requires accuracy, therefore previous experience of cutting glass is desired but not essential. Generally, leaded stained glass is used for larger items e.g. Church windows. In this workshop, you will make a beautiful suncatcher panel, approx. 10" x 8", not the size of a church window! Using Lead Came to support your beautiful stained glass, you will learn techniques for making leaded stained glass. Starting with choosing a design, you will progress to set out and cut your glass, prepare, cut, and solder the lead came and finish with cementing the glass in place.This workshop is kept to a small group with a maximum of 6 to ensure everyone has the space, tools, and guidance they need. By the end of the day, you will have your own unique leaded stained glass panel to hang up and enjoy.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 is not suitable for pregnant women due to the lead-based solder used.NOTE: The Craft Barn is accessed via external stone steps with handrails and may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Includes tuition, use of tools, tea, coffee & biscuits. The cost of materials is not included in the workshop fee; please allow £30-£45, payable to the tutor on the day. Read more details
