Stained Glass Leaded Panel in New Romney, Kent

Description

Welcome! Teach Me are delighted to invite you to a unique and memorable day of stained glass artistry. With extensive experience in this timeless craft, the team are passionate about sharing the rich tradition of glass art, using techniques perfected over centuries. Learning the art of leaded stained glass is a rewarding experience that allows you to transform pieces of coloured glass into stunning, light-filled creations. It connects you to a craft steeped in history while giving you the chance to create something lasting and meaningful. Over the course of this intensive one-day workshop, you will encounter every stage of traditional stained glass making, including cutting glass, stretching and cutting lead, soldering, cementing, and black leading. Although achievable for all abilities, it is a demanding day with plenty to learn and put into practice. A wide range of patterns are available, from beginner-friendly designs for complete novices to more intricate templates that will challenge those with prior experience. Whichever you choose, the final outcome never fails to delight when you hold your piece up to the light for the first time and see your creation come alive. Because glass is best cut while standing, participants should expect to be on their feet for parts of the day. If you have any difficulty using your hands, please call us before booking so we can discuss the best way to support you. With only four participants per class, the atmosphere is supportive and friendly, giving everyone space to focus, ask questions, and immerse themselves in the craft. Whether you’re looking to try something new, refresh your skills, or make something truly personal, this workshop promises a memorable and highly rewarding experience.

What's included in the price?

All tools and materials are provided on the day, so you will have everything needed to complete your project. You will make a leaded stained glass panel of around A4 size, which will be finished in a weather-ready frame suitable for garden display. Participants can select from a variety of patterns, with both beginner and more advanced templates available. There is also a wide choice of coloured glass to work with, and some designs allow for optional screen-printed elements, giving every finished piece a unique quality. The workshop covers the full process step by step, from cutting and shaping your glass through to leading, soldering, cementing, and finishing. With expert guidance throughout, you will finish the day with a complete panel ready to display and enjoy. A freshly prepared Ploughman’s lunch and afternoon tea are included, and tea and coffee are available throughout the day. This allows you time to pause, recharge, and share the experience with fellow participants. After the workshop, ongoing support is available by email. We can also recommend supplies, provide starter kits, and offer discount codes for glass materials if you wish to continue exploring stained glass at home.
