Stained Glass Foundations Day ENNERDALE
Come join us to create stunning 3D potted succulents, a beautiful garden trellis or panelled lantern
Service Description
Come and join me at The Gather Community Cafe and Creative Space in Ennerdale Bridge to create one of 3 stunning pieces of stained glass art in a day! The perfect venue to come and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and let me introduce you to the wonderful world of stained glass in a wonderfully spacious room with amazing panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and a fabulous cafe just downstairs! In this session, I will guide you through the basic principles of working with glass, from handling glass safely and choosing which colours and textures will work best, to cutting and shaping it to your pattern before joining it all together using the Tiffany copper foiling technique and solder. Traditional heritage skills but with a contemporary twist! In this day long session, you will get to choose to create and take home: - a potted succulent sculpture from a selection of designs ranging from Aloe Vera style plants through to more complex concentric circular patterns. OR - a beautiful 3 panelled garden feature, framed in a contemporary black powder-coated steel frame OR - an exquisite metal framed lantern, which can be used in your home or garden! All tools, materials and safety equipment will be provided including pot/frames etc. However, if you are planning on creating a cactus and there is a pot you would like to bring from home, please do let me know! The course price includes light refreshments throughout the day. Lunch is not provided, however please feel free to bring your own lunch or there is a fabulous cafe downstairs. Due to the nature of the craft, please can you ensure you are wearing closed shoes (no sandals, crocs or sling-backs) and that long hair is tied back. If you wear reading glasses, it is also advisable to bring these for the close detail work!! As the soldering process does involve lead based products, it is not advisable for pregnant women to attend and children between the ages of 16 & 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Parking is available directly outside of the venue, or alternatively across the road near the pub and church. The creative space is located above the cafe, either via the stairs or the adjacent accessible lift.
