Stained Glass Garden Panel Class

"Your passion for the subject really shone through and your professionalism in guiding us in all the task was amazing." - class attendee

If you've done some foiling stained glass work before and want to discover leading, or if you'd like to make a piece for your garden, join us for this one-day class - suitable for beginners and those with a little experience.

The one-day garden panel class for up to 4 people

The objective of the day is to make a practical piece that will give you a grounding in leading - and something to enjoy in your garden.
We provide designs for you to work on, a selection of glass, and the metal frame for your garden panel - painted and ready to accommodate your finished leaded panel.

We start out with a refresher on glass cutting and a discussion of how the panel will be built up.

• Scoring and breaking glass with a variety of curves and shapes
• Preparing the glass for leading using the grinder
• Stretching, forming and cutting lead cames
• Building up with cames and reinforcing steels
• Soldering using a pro-quality soldering iron
• Final assembly on to the metal frame

Leading method - basic introduction

• Use of tools and protective gear
• Lunch and refreshments during the day
• 2 tutors, maximum class size 4 people
• Info pack to keep with information on where to buy glass and tools, plus reminders on techniques including introduction to leading
