This is a one day introductory workshop to traditional stained glass leaded work. It helps to have done a copper-foil workshop day, but it’s not absolutely essential-really!. You will learn the basic skills needed to create your own small leaded panel (around 10 pieces of glass) that you can take home at the end of the day. The cost includes all tools and materials you will need.There is a selection of tried and tested patterns for you to choose from in the studio. It is a very busy day and you will be on your feet for most of it and it would be wise to bring along an apron. Refreshments are provided throughout the day.

“I have learned more from Caryl in her one day course than I did from the others put together. Caryl shared her tips and methods openly and addressed all of the worries I had. A thoroughly enjoyable day during which I was able to produce a panel I feel very proud of. I would heartily recommend to anybody, beginner or not, as Caryl tailors to your own needs.” Louise

 “Brilliant. Fantastic day. Caryl Hallett is extremely talented and a very good teacher. I would recommend this class to anyone.” Mike

“Just finished a course with Caryl, completing 2 day stained glass panel. This was such a great experience – Caryl was very supportive, hugely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful throughout. It was amazing to leave with my first completed stained glass panel.” Catherine 

“We came away with a beautiful piece of leaded stained glass (around a mirror in a frame in my case) which was entirely achievable in the time we had. We were able to do our own designs, choosing the colours and types of glass we used and there were plenty of her own creations to see if we needed inspiration. Great” Hannah

10 week evening course: Extended project

I offer an on-going evening class is for those students who having previously completed the one day Leaded Panel workshop or the weekend course, and feel ready to undertake a more extensive project.

It takes place on Tuesday evenings from 6-8.30pm. Costs will be £450 for the ten weeks.

This will include all tuition, equipment, various pattern-making materials, support boards, K-grade solder, paints, lead and cement. However as the range of glass selection is likely to be different and varied for most people, you will expected to meet the cost of the glass you choose. If you would like to bring along your own decorative glass, that’s fine too.
