Weekend Stained Glass Workshop - January 2017

Our weekend workshops are designed for anybody interested in learning traditional stained glass techniques. The small class size, friendly teaching environment and timescale will allow a complete beginner to produce a small, simple panel over the two days, and to leave the course with enough experience to carry on stained glass as a hobby. For more experienced participants, the two days should see the completion of long-standing projects and plenty time to devise and begin new projects, or learn new techniques.

Stained Glass Open Studio Sessions at Morning Glass

Our Open Studio Sessions are designed to provide a stepping stone for students who have already completed a course (or two!) and want to work on a personal project with a bit of assistance.

Sessions run on Monday mornings from 9:30 to 12:30 and cost £30 per session. The fee covers bench time and use of equipment - you can bring your own materials, or purchase what you need as you need it. I'll be on hand to offer support and advice when required, and you can work at your own pace. As the studio will be working normally, you may also get to see techniques not taught on the Beginners or Intermediate One Day and Weekend courses, including glass painting and gilding.

A beginners guide to stained glass tools

Despite the fact that I love tools, and I'll always try and buy whatever I need for the job at hand, it didn’t take me long to build up a working stained glass toolset when I first started. As a consequence I always figured stained glass has a remarkably low barrier to entry - the few tools required to make a panel (which have pretty much remained unchanged for at least the last 50 years) are simple and relatively inexpensive.
