Finishing a panel

Description

The beginners stained glass course is designed for those who have little or no skills in cutting glass. The aim being to finish a piece roughly A4 size with 10-15 pieces of glass. There will be help with design, if necessary, and choice of colours. Students are taught to cut glass, use the grinders, tape up their pieces and then solder them together and finish with patina etc. The course is aimed to give a basic knowledge in using copper foil (Tiffany style) to make items in stained glass so that the student should be able to continue to explore the medium on their own. There are only 3-4 students on the course.

Johanna Clark reviewed: Beginners Stained Glass Course, Copper foil work

"I was unable to attend Day One sadly due to family problems but I cut my own glass and attended on Day 2. There were three other students attending. The resources were plentiful and we were guided through each stage. There was plenty of time and we could work at our own rate. I had some previous experience of working with lead but copper foiling was new to me. Brenda was very patient with us all especially our soldering which was a new experience for many. Brenda’s hubby made our lunch, some very exotic pizzas, these were delicious. We also had three drinks during the day and some much welcomed lemon cake. The outside garden area is beautiful and we were lucky to have perfect weather. Brenda has three dogs that roam around making the course feel very homely. I really enjoyed the day and produced a lovely panel. I would certainly attend future courses with Brenda. Really interested in glass painted panels which are fired."

"This course was our first attempt at Stained Glass. We were so pleased that we chose Kingfisher Glass. The venue was in beautiful surrounds and easy to find with the Sat Nav taking us straight to the door. Our two days with Brenda were so enjoyable. Brenda is a first class Tutor Her knowledge and patience was excellent. Brenda is a very friendly lady with a sense of humour which made us as beginners feel very much at ease. We had morning Coffee, lunch and afternoon tea and cake. We was very pleased with what we achieved, bringing home our treasured stained class pieces now hanging in our conservatory. I would definitely recommend Brenda and her courses."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Set in an idyllic spot, even on wet November days! We had a grand time and were very well fed with homemade lunches. On top of that I created something rather lovely considering I'd not tried it before. I would definitely recommend Brenda's courses and I'm hoping to go on another one soon and learn a different technique."
