Beginners Copper
Foiling (aka. Tiffany) Taster Session - Luxury Foiled Tealight
Learn the basics of foiling stained glass in just half a day!
"Another fabulous opportunity to learn new skills and techniques from the VERY knowledgeable Mike & Jenny "- Sue H
This half-day taster workshop will give you a feel for the copper foiling method of stained glass; if you enjoy this class we suggest you consider a full one-day workshop to gain deeper skills and make a more challenging piece.
Complete beginners can choose from at least three designs including one or two seasonal projects.
If you've done some foiling before you can opt for the more complex Fairy (or gnome!) house.
For each project all the materials including wooden tealight holder base are included.
