Beginners Stained Glass Class -
Foiling (aka. Tiffany)
Learn the basics of foiling stained glass in just one day!

"Exceptional teaching and guidance throughout the day"- Sarah T

Our one-day introduction to the foiling method of stained glass construction (sometimes called the Tiffany method) will give you a grounding in the fundamental techniques with plenty of hands-on experience with the tools we use, and lots of tips, tricks and a little history of modern stained glass.

One-day copper foiling stained glass beginners class for up to 7 people

We start out by looking at the basic processes and tools we'll be using:

  • Scoring and breaking glass, using oil-cutter, grozing pliers and cut runner
  • Preparing the glass for soldering using the grinder, copper foil and crimping tool
  • Soldering using a high-power soldering iron and fluxes

We'll take you through a demonstration of how we score and break glass, grind it in prepararation for assembly, apply the copper foil, and then solder the panel on both sides.

You'll then practise cutting and breaking glass!
Once comfortable with scoring and breaking the glass, we'll ask you to choose your project design and the coloured glass you'll use.

In the afternoon, you'll work on your project piece which you'll finish in time to take home!
We'll provide you with a choice of 5 pretty designs and a selection of coloured glass to work with.
