Stained Glass Classes with Vitreus Art
Learn to make stained glass with Jenny Timms & Mike Caddy

"I cannot believe how much you managed to teach us in just one day. 
I am truly inspired and can't wait to get kitted out to make something else." Cheryl

Would you like to learn how to make stained glass art, and take a piece home to show off your new skills?
As many of our students have found, stained glass can be an egrossing and satisfying hobby, or even a lifestyle business for the really intrepid!

Whether you're a beginner, already have some experience or are looking to get away from it all and spend a week with other likeminded artists at our Cornwall retreat, we invite you to join us on one of our popular and fun creative classes!

Our classes

For beginners
If you've never done any stained glass before, we suggest you begin by looking at our beginners classes and select a date and venue that suits you.
The content of all our one-day beginners classes is structured to provide you with a challenge, resulting in a piece you will feel proud of!
Our Garden panels class is also suitable for beginners.

For those with some experience
If you've tried foiling and want to get to grips with leading, we suggest either our Garden panels class as this offers the simplest and quickest way to gain experience of working with lead.
If you have a project in mind of your own, our Improvers class is for you and will be tailored around your needs and ambitions.

For those wanting to learn design skills as well as practical skills

For a thorough grounding in both construction techniques, plus time spent learning to design for glass, and the chance to experiment with glass etching, we invite you to look at our Cornwall 5-day workshop - a great way to become proficient rapidly with guidance on hand throughout the week.
