Stained Glass: build confidence and complexity (all levels)

About this course

Participants develop stained glass projects that are larger and more detailed than basic pieces, exploring curved forms, multiple colour sections and themed or patterned designs. Projects may include decorative panels and framed window panels. Tutor demonstrations accompany supported project work. The course covers pattern preparation, design and material decisions, accurate glass cutting, panel construction, leading, soldering and finishing, with attention to consistency and neat joints.

What you'll learn

• Work safely with stained glass tools, equipment and materials in a workshop setting.
• Prepare patterns for more complex designs, including curved and multi-section forms.
• Measure and cut glass accurately to produce detailed shapes for a project.
• Construct stained glass panels using leading and soldering techniques.
