Details
Discover the techniques and processes involved in making a leaded stained glass panel here at The National Botanic Garden of Wales. Learn how to cut glass to one of our tried and tested patterns on the first day. Then lead and solder the panel to take home on the second day. Learn how to cut glass, use grozing pliers, heat gun and adhesive to create your own panel to take home after grouting.
Important safety information: The art of stained glass uses sharp glass, chemicals and lead – please be aware that the course is NOT suitable for children under 16 years of age or if you are pregnant. Our one day courses are intensive – if you have any health concerns, problems with balance, standing/sitting for long periods, or are affected by poor grip, please contact us before booking to discuss your needs. You MUST wear sensible shoes when working with glass – no open toes, sandals, flip flops etc. We reserve the right to ask a student to leave the class if correct attire is not worn, and/or if safety information is not adhered to. No refund will be given in this instance.
Tuition, safety equipment and tools are all provided, however it is wise to bring your own apron or wear old clothes. All classes are suitable for absolute beginners. You will need to allow £5 – £10 for materials which can be purchased on the day from the tutor from Cariad Glass.
