Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

Leadwork panel

Panels waiting to be cleaned

Description

Come and join me in the glorious Worcestershire countryside and learn about the art of stained glass. There are a couple of ways to get the look, one is the 'Tiffany' method which uses copper foil and solder, the other is the traditional way of using lead and solder and we offer both! Either method is suitable for beginners as you will be shown how to cut and grind the glass to fit your pattern, we will then copper foil or leadwork your piece before finally soldering everything in place for you to take home.

Julie Hughes reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"This was such a fun day from start to finish as we were taken through each step of stain glass making by Vicky and Vic. Both were kind and patient giving us clear and concise guidance of the process and we were able to produce not to shabby decorations to display at home as a great reminder of our day - our friends and family were quite impressed with our masterpieces when we showed them 🙂 The amazing spread at lunchtime was superb too ! We cannot wait to go back to the workshop again to experience one of the other courses on offer and would highly recommend anyone to try it for themselves it was worth every penny Thank you again Vicky and Vic for sharing your knowledge and skills with us x"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Julie, it was a most enjoyable day for us as well, just remember to dab and not stroke.......!"

"Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely. I asked a lot of technical questions and was provided with very clear and understandable responses. The course I opted for was the stained glass window making. I learnt plenty in such a short amount of time. I initially thought that Vicky was a former school teacher; her delivery of instruction and ability to provide a relaxed learning environment was brilliant. I think I will be visiting again to collect some more knowledge in the future. I would fully recommend Vicky to anyone who wants to learn working with glass skills. I enjoyed my day off work to escape to a creative environment."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" My pleasure, it's always good to see the course being done in order to develop the techniques learnt in other work."

"10 out of 10 for the day, Vicky was very skilled and made every effort to put us at ease. The lunch was very good with a choice of different dishes, I managed to make several items some of which are hanging on a tree outside my house. If you are thinking of trying this course just do it you wont be dissapointed."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" So glad you enjoyed the day, and good to hear that you're displaying your art - as you should be!"

Su Starkey reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"Really enjoyed this one-day course, and came away having created something I was really pleased with, considering it was my first ever attempt at stained glass. Vicky’s teaching style is relaxed and (very!) patient, and she worked at just the right pace. Would definitely recommend!"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" And now I'm blushing! It was great to have you in the workshop and find out that the soldering iron isn't really that scary....... :-)"

"Fantastic day with Vicky, who was so friendly and welcoming. Vicky's can do attitude and sense of humour made for such a positive experience. An excellent course and I can't quite believe I created such a nice piece. We will be back. Thanks to Emily as well for a really fab lunch."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" So pleased you enjoyed your day, it was a pleasure to see your piece progress throughout the day!"

Zoe reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"I had a fantastic time one-on-one with Vicky, creating a panel which she allowed me to design from a photo (very simplified!). I was shown and practiced all the techniques needed, and had lots of bonus information thrown in. Vicky was friendly and welcoming, and I will definitely be back to try some fused glass another time!"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Thank you for your kind words, really appreciate them. Your panel is a fabulous way to remember what must have been a real once in a lifetime experience!"

Caroline reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"Vicky was very knowledgeable and hospitable. I had an interesting and enjoyable day and after a good day's work I managed to produce a pretty good piece, much to my surprise! I would definitely recommend this experience."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Thank you for this, it is appreciated. Hopefully your piece looks good in your chosen spot, it was a great asymmetrical design with some lovely colours."

Vicky Madon reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"We attended Vicky’s course as a three generation activity for my daughters 13th birthday. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed the day. As well as great supervision and encouragement, we had a lovely lunch and we’re plied with teas and coffees. There were lots of laughs and chatter and we all came away with a piece or two of copper foiled glass work to be very proud of. Vicky and Vic are brilliant hosts and teachers. Many thanks"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Hi Vicky, it was a real pleasure having your family here, probably more so for Vic who now knows how his knees work.........! Good luck with your future glass adventures."

Phil Brown reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"From the greeting in the Car Park in the rain through to when I left Vicky looked after me all day. I made a stunning panel and had time to add a small copper foil piece. The lunch was superb, with excellent company. Everything was explained and demonstrated, and I was advised how to improve on areas that were less than perfect. Really enjoyed the whole day!!!"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Hi Phil, thank you for your review, really appreciate it. Maybe a train panel next time........!"

Hannah reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"Thank you so much we had such a good time, Vicky was so patient with us and we learnt so much. Lunch was fantastic and we now have two fabulous pieces proudly displayed! I think my Grandma who I did the course with has found a new passion and will certainly be back."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" It was a joy to have you both, to see how you worked together was lovely. Grandma is always welcome - and you if you have time!"

Lyn Davies reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"Having had no previous experience, I brought home a beautiful stained glass plaque. Throughout the well-defined process Vicky offered guidance and advice without ever being intrusive. She consistently encouraged creative experimentation and was always able to answer technical queries. Her confidence with the medium was very reassuring and made the whole experience stress free and enjoyable. Don’t have a big breakfast because lunch is tremendous! Thanks Vicky."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Thank you for your glowing report, I love it when an artist from another medium appears, to simplify one of your pictures to make the panel was genius - every day is a school day!"

Paul reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"The whole day was brilliant. I learnt so much and with the expert tuition managed to make something that looked pretty good too. It's all done in a friendly environment which makes learning a new skill easier and fun. Paul"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Hi Paul, Thank you for this, it is appreciated. Your owl will look fabulous next to your other panel in the window."

Julia Forte reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"We had an absolutely fabulous day with Vicky and Vic! I bought the day as a present for my mums birthday, and my dad came along too. All three of us really enjoyed it. Mum made a beautiful fusion glass dish, I made a humming bird with copper foil and soldering and my dad made a stained glass boat panel with leading. It was so interesting to learn about all 3 techniques and a huge insight into what goes into making stained glass pieces. Vicky and Vic are so enjoyable to be around and really made the whole experience a real joy and nothing was too much effort. The lunch spread was really tasty too! A fantastic day out and I would recommend to anyone! Thank you so much."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Hi Julia Thank you for the review, it was an absolute hoot having all three of you in the workshop! Here's to free spirits and naughty corners!"

Mel Sims reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"Did a day’s course in stained glass and I loved it, even got to go home with an impressive panel to show the family. Vicky and Vic are great teachers, explaining all the theory to a complete novice in a non patronising way and making the whole day great fun. In the morning we chose a pattern and then selected glass from a massive choice, learnt how to cut the glass and then I was away cutting the shapes I needed. A lovely lunch was provided in Vicky’s fascinating garden and after it was time to lead and solder the pieces of glass together. Vic is an expert at stained glass and was full of help, advice and encouragement. It was a really lovely day which I will repeat again. Thank you guys!"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Hi Mel Aww shucks, I'm blushing! Thank you for this and glad you enjoyed the day. As I said at the time we nearly always learn from the students as well, in your case it got us thinking of using clear glass a bit more - certainly for borders."

Leona reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"I did the copper foiling course led by Vicky and Vic. I had a fabulous day, making a feather and a heart to hang in the garden ( yes they are garden proof!). I learnt loads, met friends old and new, and had so many laughs. Vicky and Vic were sooooo helpful at showing us what to do, but importantly doing most of it ourselves. We were offered endless drinks and a delicious hot and cold lunch in the Orangery, where we chatted and it was really sociable. There was a generous amount of glass to choose from some were beautifully iridescent. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to people who are used to working with glass or beginners... there is so much help on hand. I’m looking forward to doing more copper foiling work. Thank you to both Vicky and Vic"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Hi Leona, thank you for this and good to hear that you enjoyed the day. The feather will certainly look lovely in your garden and hopefully we'll see you again so you can do a companion piece. Thanks Vicky"
