A NEW DATE!

What a treat! Immerse yourself in a full day of creativity, trying stained glass and mosaic.

I am collaborating with my neighbour, Jo Snowdon, to bring you a unique and exciting all-day workshop experience, where you can try your hand at two crafts in one day.

You will get three hours with each of us and will be able to make two stunning pieces to take home. 

With Jo you will be using the copper foil method, also known as the Tiffany technique. You will learn how to:

* score and break the glass

* how to foil your pieces

* how to solder them together. 

This is an introduction to stained glass and requires no previous experience. You will be able to choose from 3 designs; a heart, a leaf or a star. Jo has lots of glass to choose from with many different textures and colours. The heart is 13cm X 13cm, the leaf is 18cm X 9cm and the star is 16cm X 15cm.

Then with me you will create a mosaic for indoor display using the direct method. You will learn how to:

* plan a design

* shape your tiles

* glue your tiles

* grout your finished piece

You can choose from any of my 20cm shapes, including birds, hearts, foxes, flower pot or a circle.

We won’t get time to grout as the glue will still be wet, but a demo will be given and you’ll be given enough grout to finish your piece at home.

No experience necessary, suitable for beginners. 

 (Shapes measure approximately 20cm)
