SUMMARY:Creative glass course – two days of leaded stained glass £190 per person
DESCRIPTION:Why not join us for a creative glass course in our studio in the Kent Downs AONB? On this two day course in leaded stained glass you’ll get to discover the traditional techniques needed to construct your very own stained glass panel.\nWhat’s involved?\nYou’ll be welcomed with tea, coffee & pastries while we have a quick look at health and safety. We want you to go home in at least as good shape as when you arrived, after all! We’ll then move upstairs into the studio, where you’ll learn (if you’re a beginner) how to cut glass with confidence and use the different tools. If you have previous experience you’ll have the opportunity to brush up on your skills and pick up new tips, or dive straight into designing your panel.\nOnce you’ve learned the basics, you’ll design your own panel. You’re welcome to take a look at what other people have made if you’re short of ideas, & we can help too wherever needed.\nYou’ll then choose your coloured and textured glass from our extensive selection and cut your pieces, using a special grinder where necessary to ensure that the pieces will fit together.\nThe next step is to cut the lead for the outside edges of your panel and start to assemble it. This will take the rest of the first day & much of the second day. When your panel has been assembled, you’ll solder the joins, where pieces of lead meet. Then it’ll have a good clean. (If you’re making a panel to be installed (e.g. in a door) or hung outside, it’ll need cementing and then cleaning afterwards.) Then you’ll be able to attach a hanging chain if desired, before standing back to admire your handiwork!\nCan I make a big window for my house?\nYes but… In a two day course you’ll have time to make a panel containing up to ten pieces of glass. It takes longer than you think, especially for your first panel. If you want to make something more adventurous than this, you can either start it on a two day course and then complete it on our weekly classes, or finish it at home. If you’re interested in doing this, please do give us a ring or drop us a line beforehand.\nCan I bring my son or daughter?\nProvided that they’re over 18 & that neither of you are pregnant, yes of course. Just book a space for each of you. Under 18s and pregnant ladies shouldn’t work with lead, so they can’t join our stained glass courses, but they’re welcome to come to a glass fusing or glass appliqué course instead.\nTo allow plenty of room for all attendees, only paying guests may come to the course. We don’t offer spaces for spectators, sorry.\nCan I get to you by public transport?\nYes; Chilham is served by a regular train service and buses. Check out our “where are we” page for more details.\nI’ve heard that you make amazing bread for lunch. Is that true?\nWell we don’t like to boast, but our bread does prove very popular. Gluten free options are available too; we can cater for most diets so long as you let us know in advance. Vegetarian, vegan, lactose free etc; just tell us beforehand. For decaffeinated coffee drinkers, we also serve some of the best decaf coffee in Kent.\nOK, I’m convinced. How do I book my place?\nHead straight to our “dates and bookings” page and book your place(s). It’ll be great to welcome you to the studio!\nThis course has now expired but this link (https://www.creativeretreatsandholidays.co.uk/booking/ ) will take you to our calendar of upcoming events.\n
