Introductory Stained Glass Repair & Restoration Workshop - Nov 1-2

This 2-day course is designed to provide an introduction to repairing and restoring traditional leaded stained glass windows. The course will cover every stage in the repair process, from stripping out a damaged panel to the final steps of replacing tie-wires and polishing.

The workshop is suitable for both complete beginners and those with some previous stained glass knowledge. Each participant will be supplied with a small antique stained glass panel, which they will dismantle, repair and reconstruct over the course of the weekend.

The following aspects of stained glass repair and restoration will be covered over the two days:

• Recording damage and preliminary note-taking
• Producing a cartoon
• Stripping out
• Cutting, templates and cleaning
• Re-leading, soldering and finishing
• Strengthening and installation.
