Copper Foiled Stained Glass
What is Copper Foiled Stained Glass?
Copper foiled or Tiffany stained glass is often associated with Tiffany lamps- intricate glass lamps made from hundreds of small pieces of colourful glass. It’s also popular in the USA for windows; it was developed there in the late 1800s by Louis Comfort Tiffany, a pioneer in the Arts and Crafts movement.
Beginners
Start by learning to cut glass, discovering which shapes are easy and which are a little trickier. We’ll show you how to create a cartoon (template) for your design, including up to ten pieces & up to 20 x 20cm in size if you’re with us for a two day course. Choose from our extensive selection of glass and cut, foil & assemble your masterpiece!

Weekly classes
The weekly stained glass courses are ideal if you’d like to make something bigger or with more pieces. You can make something as simple or as complex as you like & extend your course for as long as you want to. There are no set term times, so you can join whenever there’s a space available.
Start by learning (if you haven’t done it before) to cut glass & create a cartoon (template). We’ll provide basic materials to get you started. When you’ve created your design, we can give you guidance as to the materials that you’ll need to buy in order to make it.
As with the other courses, use of our equipment is included while you’re on site. If you’d like to buy some tools to use at home, we’re happy to give guidance.
