Workshops

I am a professional glass artist and a qualified and experienced tutor and I run a variety of courses throughout the year at my orchard cabin studio in Martock, Somerset.

Have a creative day learning how to make a beautiful stained glass panel from a choice of a number of different patterns in a friendly, fun and encouraging one day workshop.

This is a practical course aimed at anyone wanting to learn the basic traditional technical skills to make their own small (A5) leaded stained glass panel. 

All equipment and materials are provided as well as all safety equipment.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided throughout the day. All you need to bring is a packed lunch

Classes in the studio are small with a maximum of 4 learners, ensuring personalised attention from me at all times.
