Our weekly stained glass evening classes are always very popular & some people continue coming for months or even years! But at the time of writing we have a short waiting list, so if you’d like to check for spaces or join the waiting list, do give us a ring or drop us a line, & include your phone number please.

The classes take place in our spacious and airy Chilham studio from 6.45 to 9.45pm. (If you’re looking for daytime classes, look here but please be aware that the waiting list for the daytime classes is longer & slower moving.)

Who can come to your classes?

We welcome anyone over the age of 18, from complete beginners to people making a whole series of stained glass windows for their houses. If you’re a complete beginner with the ambition to make windows for your house, that’s not a problem either!

Please note that because lead is used both for leaded stained glass and for soldering “Tiffany” or copper foiled stained glass, this course isn’t suitable for anyone who’s under the age of 18 & / or pregnant, unless the whole group are only doing glass appliqué. (This doesn’t happen very often, to be honest.)

What can I learn?

You can learn to do copper foiled (Tiffany) glass, traditional leaded stained glass (lead lights) and / or glass appliqué (also known as stained glass mosaic). It’s also possible to combine several of these techniques into the same item. Copper foil lends itself to 3D work too, once you’ve mastered the basics.

When do your terms start?

Unlike traditional schools and colleges, we don’t have set term times, so you can start whenever you like, if there’s a space available. Classes are pretty flexible too. If you can’t make a session, give us at least a week’s notice and you won’t be charged for it. (You never got that in Adult Ed weekly stained glass classes!) Classes are £30 each for blocks of six or more; if you pay for a block of ten you get an eleventh class FREE.

How do I get there?

There’s free parking on site, a railway station & a bus stop within a mile (see “where are we?” on our “about” page for more details), though the bus services aren’t what they were, to be honest.

We have a range of well maintained equipment for use during classes, and free tea, coffee and biscuits. What more could you ask for?

How can I book a place on the course?

You can book a series of six or ten weekly stained glass evening classes via the website when there’s a space available, or if you’re not keen on paying online we can also take card payments over the phone or you can come round with cash.
