​​​This one-day, ONSITE workshop is suitable for complete beginners and those wishing to refresh skills and improve technique.

 Manual dexterity is required for this class.

​Make a slim stained glass panel which can be displayed in the garden border.

Using a simple template cut coloured glass and lead together with a zinc and steel frame.

Working from a selection of prepared designs you will choose from a range of semi opaque and transparent glasses to cut the shapes for the panel.

You will then use lead to build the panel and frame it with zinc which is reinforced with a steel bar for additional strength.

The panel is soldered and cemented and the final clean is done the next day at home.

There will be demonstrations of each technique and individual guidance.
