Description
Dive into the captivating realm of copper foil-stained glass artistry, where intricate designs and stunning glass come together! We’re thrilled to invite you to our Copper Foil Glass Workshop at Teach Me Courses—a full day dedicated to the enchanting craft of stained glass. Tiffany's Favrile glass was stunning and distinct, but it was his innovative copper foil technique that truly revolutionised the iconic Tiffany lamps. Before Louis Comfort Tiffany began exploring new methods in glassmaking, stained glass windows were traditionally assembled using thick lead rods, with soldered joints connecting the pieces. This old approach limited the design possibilities, but Tiffany’s experimentation allowed for greater flexibility and detail, transforming the art of glasswork. We’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of this innovative technique, empowering you to transform your creative ideas into your own masterpieces! This one-day course is perfect for both beginners or those looking to enhance their skills. This is a fantastic opportunity to discover a new skill, connect with fellow crafters, and immerse yourself in a day dedicated to the art of glassmaking, all within a warm and welcoming environment. Enjoy the creative camaraderie as you explore your artistic potential! We can’t wait to see what you’ll create!
