12 October — 16 November 2024 Tickets from £85.00 — Book now

Stained Glass is a magical art form that involved careful selection, heat, light and colour. It involves skills that to many will be new and quite exciting to learn so why not get hands on and give it a go yourself in this friendly and open ability workshop at Swarthmore.

The talented tutor, Samantha Yates, tailors every session to suit the experience level of the room so everyone can really get the most from the workshop. In the session, you’ll learn how to use glass tools to cut and shape glass, understand the difference between copper foil and leaded technique and be able to produce a simple design which you will take home with you.

Over the course of a relaxed Saturday daytime, you’ll learn, create, chat and unwind with like minded people. Walking away with a design you can hang in your home and be proud of.
