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. For a leadwork panel, it's approx 20 x 20cm and made up of 10 - 12 pieces, for copper foiling it can be from 2 - 10 pieces depending on the design.

Rebecca reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"I did the stained glass course with my son;- Vicky is very knowledgeable/ friendly and talked us through each process. We both thoroughly enjoyed the day and came home with some beautiful pieces! Thank you once again Vicky ... would love to return one day to try out glass fusion next! "

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Rebecca, thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated. Both of you did brilliantly and I loved the way your son worked things out before I had to say, as did you! It would be good to see you for fusing as you can be a bit more free form in the design. Thanks again Vicky "

Sally N reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"We had the most fantastic day with Vicky, learned so much. The day was very much"hands on" and Vicky guided us every step of the way. I chose to use lead and my daughter copper foil, and we made very different things. Highly recommend this workshop. We are inspired to get the basic kit needed and explore more. Vicky more than happy to suggest supplies, tools and ideas so we can begin! Thanks"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Sally, did I mention this glass lark is addictive........? Great to hear that you are exploring ways of carrying on with your new found skills, you certainly know what you are doing, it's just practice and confidence remember. All the best, Vicky"

Louise reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"I had a wonderful day making stained glass. Vicky was a great teacher who gave step by step instructions which were easy to follow. Not only did I make stained glass I also learnt about the different processes and types of glass used. I would recommend the course to anyone."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Louise, thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated. I still think you'll take this up one day and I look forward to seeing what you produce! In the meantime enjoy your crafting. Vicky"

Hannah B reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"I spent a wonderful day at Kingcot Gallery learning to make stained glass. Vicky ran a relaxed and friendly session with me and another student. The day was very informative. Vicky had some designs for us to select and was happy to work with us with some source inspiration to create our own simple designs. Vicky discussed the glass cutting techniques, using a jig, soldering, potential pitfalls and ways to elaborate on the craft further. At the end of the course both the other student and I were keen to take another course at Kingcot as soon as possible!"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Hannah, thank you so much for your kind words, they are appreciated. It's always good to see that you may take the day further and do more work independently - it's a great stress relief, expecially when you know you can do it a stage at a time! All the best with your future projects, Vicky"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Alan, thank you so much, it was great that you came with an idea of where you wanted to take your knowledge - I can't wait to see the panel! All the best Vicky"

John reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"My partner and I did a one-day stained glass course. Both Vicky and Vic (who was on hand go help us in the morning while Vicky was busy with another group) were absolutely delightful! We were really pleased by how much freedom we were given (even though we were complete beginners) to choose a design and to crack on with it! There was as much support as we needed but it felt genuinely creative and like a learning experience, not just painting by numbers. The Vicky and Vic were also really kind, lovely folks so we had a good natter over lunch and while we were working away. Cannot recommend it highly enough!!"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear John Thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated! I'll be honest and say we try and get you to do as much as possible so we can have a rest......... :-) Joking aside, we hopefully get you to a stage that you can tackle this as a hobby if you want to. Thanks again Vicky "

"The tuition and pace of learning from Vickey Kitchen was clear and informative. Making the whole experience of learning to make a stained glass window interesting in a fun and relaxed environment. Thankyou Vickey really enjoyed the day. Taking away what I have learned and using the skills taught."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Hi Kevin, you are more than welcome. It's always good to get someone to do something new, knowing that the new skill will be incorporated in other interests and hobbies. All the best, Vicky "

Alison reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"As all other reviewers have said, Vicky is a great lady with extensive knowledge and a fantastic personality too. My friend and I did a copper foil day and were both inspired to go on and do more. The setting is great, the workshop is comfortable and lunch was lovely. If I lived nearer I would join "glass club". Highly recommended. "

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Alison, thank you so much for your kind words, they are appreciated. You would be more than welcome at glass club but I guess it is a little far for you to travel...... I hope you find somewhere a bit more local to carry on doing glass work, you are both more than capable of doing so. All the best, Vicky"

Lisa Fleming reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"I had the most wonderful day with Vicky and thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Vicky is the most wonderful and patient teacher and I came away from the day with a stained glass panel I am proud to display in my home. I had absolutely no prior experience but Vicky guided me through the whole process so well - and a lovely lunch too! Thank you so much Vicky."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Dear Lisa OK, I'm definitely blushing...... Thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated, so pleased you enjoyed the day and the panel won't be in the cupboard under the stairs! All the best Vicky"

Duncan reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"I had one to one help throughout a very busy day. My wife was impressed by my finished panel and I have certainly developed some transferable skills, I might even buy some materials for home "

Kingcot Gallery responded:

"Hi Duncan, thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated. This is what is great to see, upgrading skills that someone has, adding a few bits and showing what can be done their own workshop - which sounds perfect! All the best Vicky"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my day. Vickie was very welcoming and informative. She is very jolly and chatty and explained and guided us through the different stages, and at the end of the day we had produced a lovely piece of art work to be proud of. Cathy "
