Coffee, Cake, ‘n’ Craft – Copper Foil Suncatchers in New Romney, Kent
Description
Let your creativity flow in this welcoming and hands-on copper foil suncatcher workshop, part of the popular Coffee, Cake, ‘n’ Craft series at Teach Me Courses. Over the course of three relaxing hours, you’ll explore the timeless Tiffany-style copper foil method as you craft a beautiful circular glass suncatcher to hang in your window or on your wall. With endless coffee and generous servings of homemade cake to enjoy, the session offers a perfect blend of creativity and comfort. You’ll be guided through the whole process by a friendly and experienced tutor, learning how to safely cut and shape coloured glass pieces, apply copper foil, solder your design, and finish your work for a polished final piece. Whether you’re drawn to bold geometric shapes, coastal colour palettes, garden-inspired imagery or calming abstract patterns, you’ll find plenty of inspiration to fuel your design. This informal workshop is open to all skill levels – no prior experience is needed. You’ll be encouraged to work at your own pace in a supportive and sociable setting, where there’s space for creative focus and relaxed conversation. It’s a lovely way to wind down, meet new people, and make something truly unique.
