Stained Glass: Intermediate

About this course

Participants develop an individual stained glass panel, working with the teacher from design through to execution. The course combines group teaching with one-to-one guidance at different stages of the process. Sessions cover techniques for extending stained glass skills, including pattern design, glass cutting, and the use of colour and texture. The work is intended for learners developing beyond introductory study and provides scope to apply technical and artistic decisions within a personal project.

What you'll learn

• Design technically advanced patterns suitable for stained glass leaded lights
• Cut difficult shapes of glass
• Apply a range of stained glass techniques within designs
• Use colour and glass texture to enhance stained glass designs
