New - Traditional Stained Glass Painting Courses

After a lengthy gestation these two courses are now live!
The Traditional Stained Glass Painting Introduction will equip you with the basics needed to develop your traditional glass painting projects (and you'll create a piece of painted glass on the day).

And then the two-day Traditional Stained Glass Painting With Leading or Foiling course will enable you to design, cut, paint and construct your own mini window with beautiful painted details.
This course isn't suitable for beginners in painting on glass or leading and foiling - feel free to ask about the course requirements before booking!

Because of the specuialist nature of these two workshops we're limiting places to 6 and 5 respectively and the early sessions of each are full or nearly full!
New Traditional Stained Glass Painting Courses live at Vitreus Art - places limited, book now
