Stained Glass Course - 2 days
Work on a personal stained glass project of your own design

"Excellent class, great teachers, really rewarding..." - Tricia

This two-day bespoke fully tutored course is perfect for those with a stained glass project in mind that would take longer to create than our one-day Improvers class allows.
Perhaps you'd like to create a stained glass window, or you have a design for your very own piece of glass art.

The course is open to those who've already done some stained glass - including those who have attended our foiling or leading beginners classes. This course is not suitable for beginners!

Your stained glass project design

The course includes a design review on a date that suits you at our premises near Towcester to identify any refinements needed, to advise on mounting or installing and to help you prepare your accurately dimensioned design.

We will provide telephone and email assistance to help you decide on a feasible outline design prior to holding the detailed design review with you at our studio.

  • The maximum size of your project should be no more than the area of an A2 sheet of paper - 0.27sq-m. A2 is approx 60x45cm
  • Your project can consist of more than one panel, provided the total cumulative area is not more than 0.27sq-m
  • Your project can use the leading or foiling method, provided you already have some experience of your chosen method
  • The design review is an integral part of the course so please ensure you are able to attend - other meeting times may be possible in exceptional circumstances
  • You will be asked to bring 3 copies of your full-sized 1-1 scale design to the course
  • If you're planning to replace existing glazing with stained glass please discuss with us in advance- there may be specific requirements or regulations to be aware of
  • If your project will take longer than 2 days there is the option of further days' tuition at a cost to be agreed between us
