Description
A brand new workshop to create 2 stunning leaded lightcatchers using totally traditional stained glass techniques. Come and spend a lovely afternoon creating two stained glass lightcatchers from scratch. This is a hands-on course where you will learn the traditional stained glass processes of glass cutting, leading, soldering and polishing. You will select the two templates you would like to make and after learning to cut glass, you will then select and cut the coloured glass for your panels. Next comes the lead work with accurate cutting of the lead and building your panel. Then it is soldering time! Finally you will polish your two panels to a bright, even finish. This is a great opportunity to learn or develop your skills and as you are making two pieces you could choose to gift one as a stunning handmade present. The finished lightcatchers are approximately 12cm square.

FAQs
Glass is sharp so there is always a risk of a small cut, however I will go through all the tips for working with glass safely and teach you safe techniques for handling and cutting glass. If you are very worried about cutting yourself please ask me for a pair of latex gloves to wear.
It is best to wear old clothes (although an apron is provided) and it is important that your feet are covered with shoes or boots - no sandals please!
No, there are high stools in the studio so you can sit or perch whenever you need to.
Yes you will learn to cut glass and then will cut all the pieces for your design, but don't worry, there is lots of time to learn.
