Saturday 4th/Sunday 5th April - Stained Glass Panel Making - with Jackie Hunt

This course will enable you to create your own stained glass panel using the traditional method of combining coloured glass with lead. The panel you make will be suitable to either build into a window, or frame as a hanging panel.

The course involves working with coloured, clear and textured glass; learning how to handle and cut glass safely and to 'lead up' a panel. All glass, tools and equipment will be provided for use on the course. Glass and lead will be provided to enable you to make a panel slightly smaller than A4 size. If you have specific requirements we may be able to agree another size (extra materials would be charged pro rata) – but only if discussed in advance of the course dates.

No experience is needed. This is an informal workshop with a small number of participants and there will be demonstrations and practical help throughout. If you have some experience of making stained glass you can use this course as an opportunity to improve your skills.

The tutor Jackie Hunt is a professional stained glass artist. She has a design training as well as specific training in architectural glass and has taught workshops and evening classes for more than fourteen years in Dorset, Somerset, Yorkshire and Cumbria, including Weymouth College, Craven College and at Leeds College of Art.
