Copper foiling at the Cheshire School of Glass

Description

Copper-foiling is used as an alternative to lead came, giving a similar effect often for more delicate and detailed indoor projects such as mirror surrounds, wall hangings, smaller panels and light catchers of any shape. In this course you will learn to cut and grind glass in to accurate shapes, before choosing your glass from our large and varied range of glass colours. You will be taught the art of copper-foiling and soldering in joining the glass together to create gifts and projects for the home. This is a popular course because once the skill is learnt, you can easily continue this hobby at home without too much costly material, equipment and mess! The course is led by our lovely resident tutor and stained glass specialist Steph Brown.

Bev Evans reviewed: Copper foiling at the Cheshire School of Glass

"Really enjoyed my day of copper foiling in this lovely studio. The day went so quickly and I learned so much - it was totally absorbing. Kat was a great tutor, full of knowledge and able to answer any questions I had. I came away with a beautiful light catcher that I had designed myself and am really proud of. Would definitely recommend!! 😊"
