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.

Richard Brookes-Bland reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"We had an incredible day of making our stained glass. Aside from it being a lot of fun, we learnt a lot and had support all along the way in case we started to go awry. It was a personal setting - the two of us and one other couple, both of us having our own instructor, so at no point did we feel neglected. Plus, a free lunch lovingly cooked to keep us going!"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Dear Richard, thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated. Hopefully the day helped know what's what so you can carry on in your own work space - good luck with this, any questions just ask!"

"Excellent course for learning the basics in stained glass. Me and my friend really enjoyed the day and got great support throughout. We are both going to continue it as a hobby and feel that the day gave us a great foundation. Highly recommend for anyone interested in stained glass. "

" Dear Marie, Thank you for your kind words, to know that we've encouraged people to take things further is always great to hear - we may be doing things right............! Enjoy exploring what you can do, your first pieces were fabulous."

Liz Stanton reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"Had a fantastic day. Vicky and Vic are excellent hosts and so knowledgeable, they immediately made us feel welcome. They are very attentive throughout the day and both my grown up children and I left with pieces we are very proud of, even if my husband doesn’t believe I made it 😂😂 thank you so much, will definitely be recommending this course."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Dear Liz thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated. Drat, I knew we should have taken pictures of you doing your fabulous butterfly! Sorry that Laura has to be a bit more patient, but they will be worth the wait after their kiln time! All the best Vicky"

Alex reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"My cousin and I really enjoyed the stained glass taster day. Vicky and Vic passed on a lot of knowledge and handy tips and we both left with a 25cm x 25cm piece we’re proud of. It was fascinating to learn how to draw a template, cut glass (not scary), grind it, assemble it with the lead, then finally solder it. A very interesting day, with the bonus of a tasty lunch. "

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Dear Alex, thank you for your kind words, it is appreciated. Hopefully it's given you a good idea of what's involved for your project - which you are more than capable of tackling! All the best Vicky"

Paula reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"What a lovely day I spent with Vicky. I adore stained glass windows, so it was a thrill to make my very own panel with expert guidance in a very relaxed & highly informative way. Vicky is patient, supportive, provides a great lunch & is good company. I feel that I now have a good basic knowledge to enable me to buy some tools in order to design, score cut lines, break glass in different ways, grind glass edges, cutting lead & solder (although my soldering definitely needs practise but I do know where I'm going wrong). Many thanks for a fab day, Vicky."

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Hi Paula, thank you for your kind words, it is appreciated. As with most things, a bit of practice goes a long way, just remember not to smoosh or stroke the dog and you've got the soldering sorted! Any questions just ask. All the best Vicky "

Tania Mills reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"Excellent course and Vicky was amazing so generous and patient. The course was well structured and gave us time to really get the feel for it. The course was excellent value and the equipment was first rate. I would highly recommend this course 😀👍"

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Dear Tania, thank you so much, really appreciate your kind words. I shall certainly be looking at the patterns in a different way, your good use of colour showed that this is possible - just need to retrain my brain!"

"This was a brilliant course. Vicky is so warm and welcoming and takes you through each step, showing you the techniques and explaining the process. I really enjoyed the day and really happy with what I made. I’m keen to try the fused glass course with Vicky next. "

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Thank you so much for your kind words - the trick is to try and stop me from explaining too much I suspect.....! It'll be good to see you again. All the best Vicky"

Helen Prout reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"Prior to attending the workshop with Vicky I had done 3 stained glass/copper foiling workshops in 3 different venues with 3 different tutors. While I’d had mixed experiences, I knew I wanted to do more so couldn’t believe my luck when I found someone offering workshops conveniently located less than 30 mins away from me. I wasn’t sure whether I’d be the only attendee or part of a larger class but was pretty chuffed to discover it was just me and Vicky. I’d taken some printouts of ideas I had for what I wanted to do but seeing the templates Vicky had available I decided to do a square panel which Vicky said we could put a lead border around, as well as a curved heart. I had a fantastic day with plenty of time available for planning/drawing out the design, choosing, cutting and grinding the glass, copper foiling then soldering my 8” panel and heart, then putting the lead border around my 8” square Lunch was a rather tasty vegetable chilli, served with salad, rice and garlic bread followed by chocolate cake. Vicky is an excellent teacher; she has a wealth of knowledge and experience which she is more than happy to share and allows you to decide for yourself what you want to create. The workshop was scheduled to finish at 4.30 but it was 6pm when I left – there was no rushing me to get my pieces finished, or sending me away with pieces that were unfinished. I had a brilliant time and will be booking another workshop very soon. Thank you Vicky. "

Kingcot Gallery responded:

" Dear Helen, thank you so much for your fabulous review, it is appreciated. I do think that knowledge is there to pass on and encourage people to try new crafts or enhance what is already there. I look forward to passing more on in the future!"

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.......!"

andy molony reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"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."

Pete reviewed: Stained glass taster day in Worcestershire

"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....... :-)"
