Christmas Themed One Day Stained Glass Copper Foiling Taster Day

Use code 10OFF to get 10% discount on this class!

Learn how to make stained glass window hangings and decorations using the copper foiled method. This is the method used to make Tiffany lamps.  This workshop will be Christmas-themed though we will have other designs available. There will also be mince pies, Christmas tunes and much merriment!

This course is a taster day running from 10am until 4pm. The workshop is suitable for beginners and all necessary tools, safety equipment and materials are provided. The workshops are limited in size to ensure that you get the attention you need to master this beautiful craft.

The workshop takes place in our dedicated Project Space at the picturesque Parndon Mill, a surprising little countryside oasis just 15 minutes walk from Harlow Station. Harlow, Essex. Regular trains to Harlow leave from Liverpool Street Station in Central London. Tea and coffee-making facilities are available and I will of course bring some biscuits for us all!

You will learn glass selection, cutting and shaping glass and how to copper foil and solder the glass together to make a design of your choosing. I have lots of designs available for you to choose from as well as some absolutely lovely glass!

Your tutor: my name is Muna and I am a glass addict! I have learnt many different glass techniques and I love teaching workshops and sharing the skills that I have acquired over the last 15 years. You can find out a bit more about me and see some of my work at https://www.munazuberi.co.uk/

Some feedback from previous workshops:

'Hugely enjoyable day. So absorbing'.
'I have had the best day - Muna was a fantastic teacher - explained it clearly and encouraged us to do everything ourselves. Loved it!'.

Accessibility

The class takes place in the Project Space at Parndon Mill. The room is accessed via a short but quite steep ramp. The room itself is all on one level. The toilet in the project space is accessed via a slightly narrow door and has two steps down to the toilet and hand basin. There is a fully accessible toilet in a separate building about 20 meters away from the project space. All instructions in the class are given verbally and demonstrated physically. There are also written instructions available for all participants. You can ask for more information or clarification at any time! 

In this class we will be learning how to cut glass with a handheld glass cutter. You do need a certain amount of strength and dexterity in your hands to cut glass. I would compare it to the sort of strength you might need to use a traditional tin opener. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions about accessibility - email me: info@munazuberi.co.uk. I am keen to make my classes as accessible as possible and welcome any feedback or questions you might have.
