Create a fabulous piece of artwork  for each using appropriate coloured glass and inclusions.

Tac fused piece;  Choose between two freestanding 3D shapes, either a curve 'C' shape – approximately 21cms wide x 13cms tall x 5cms deep  OR  a wave 'S' shape – approximately  24cms wide x 13cms tall x 3.5cms deep.

Full fused piece;   A fabulously functional, rectangular dish with optional copper inclusions.  Finished size approximately  23cms x 12cms x 2cms.

An exciting three day workshop where you will design and make a beautiful, painted and stained glass panel.

Learn how to combine coloured glass, glass paints, lead cames, solder and leaded light cement to create a unique panel to take home.

Day one; Learn how to create a simple design template for your panel and then how to safely cut coloured and textured glass to fit.

Day two; Learn how to mix and apply black and brown stained glass paints. You will start by practising on spare pieces of glass before using these techniques on several of the cut  pieces from your design. These pieces will be fired in the glass kiln overnight making the painted detail permanent on your glass.

Day three; Assemble all of your prepared glass pieces and lead these together to form your unique panel. This will be ready to take home at the end of your workshop.

*Some glass experience is preferred for this workshop.

Tutor will provide all materials for this workshop. This cost is included in your fee.
