Stained glass one day course for beginners: one-to-one

Description

I am offering one day stained glass making courses in my workshop, a lovely light, bright space in Portslade. You will notice that there is a calendar but I would advise against relying on that and I recommend that you message me before you book! I will respond to you quickly and, this way, we can make sure that we come up with a mutually satisfactory day. I have been making mirrors and working with glass since 1991 and thought it would be fun to offer one to one tuition to anyone who likes the idea of learning the basics of the Tiffany copper foil technique. You will learn the skills needed to make a small mirror, or stained glass panel, or a sun-catcher to hang in your window or just let your creativity unfold!. Copper foiling entails cutting pieces of glass to the desired size and shape. These are then foiled and soldered together. All very straightforward but more time consuming that you think! So, in order to satisfactorily finish your design in the time allowed, a maximum of ten pieces of glass is recommended per design and your finished piece, if a mirror or a panel, will be approx 15cms x 20cms. (And on my course for 2 people then slightly smaller.) If you have a specific project in mind I am happy to discuss this with you prior to the course. Depending on the size this could mean an adjustment to the course price and possibly more than one day. If you have a rough idea of what you would like to do that's fine, but in my experience this idea often changes once the student has more of a grasp on the skills required and the time involved. So, I would suggest coming along with an open mind and let's see how things develop. If you look at my pics, this will give you an idea of what you can achieve. As this is a one on one course I will be guiding you at all times to ensure you are happy with everything you are doing. Your course will start at 10am and finish at 4.30pm with a half hour lunch break. If we need to stay on a bit longer in order for you to finish your design, then that’s fine. These times are flexible though, within reason. I like being able to give my attention to one person rather than doing groups of people, but if you wanted to come along with a friend and learn together, then do just let me know. The cost for 2 will be £160.00. There is onsite parking at the weekend and I am on a main bus route. Also close to Portslade station. I would advise, to be absolutely on the safe side, that maybe this course is not suitable for pregnant women as there is lead in the solder.
