In this course you will learn the technique of mosaicing with stained glass on thick acrylic to produce a glorious rainbow sun catcher for your garden.
You will be provided with a pre-cut and drilled acrylic base, there will be a choice of three shapes provided. There will be basic design ideas and examples available on the day, but you are welcome to bring your own ideas or we can work on one together.
Initially everyone will be taught about how cut glass, how to approach the project, and how to glue your pieces down to best effect. Each process will be clearly demonstrated. After that you can work at your own speed. We will be aiming to grout in the late afternoon, but if you would prefer to work on the glass cutting and gluing elements all day, you will be sent home with grout and detailed instructions on how to do it at home.
Small groups will enable one to one help to be available all day. The room will be well ventilated with the added benefit of a HEPA filter.

All materials and tools will be provided. Refreshments will also be provided.
