Wolds Workshop is pleased to offer a 1 - day practical taster course, which aims to introduce you to the traditional craft of painting on glass, as well as the leaded glass technique. Taught by professional stained-glass artist and conservator, Helen Bower.
Learning outcomes:
This class will guide students through the traditional techniques of glass painting, using examples of medieval glass painting applications as inspiration. You will also learn how to cut glass, and how to cut and shape lead to construct a simple leaded glass panel, incorporating your painted glass within it. At the end of the day, you will have your own painted, stained, and leaded glass panel to take home and display, approximately 220mm X 220mm.
This course is not advisable for anyone who may be pregnant, due to the use of lead-base materials.
What to bring:
Apron or old clothing
Sturdy pair of shoes
Camera for documenting your progress
Where:
