Morning Glass STAINED GLASS SPRING WEEKEND WORKSHOP - April 4th - 5th, 2009

This weekend workshop is designed to cater for anybody interested in learning traditional stained glass techniques. The small class size, friendly teaching environment and timescale will allow a complete beginner to produce a small, simple panel over the two days, and to leave the course with enough experience to carry on stained glass as a hobby. For the more experienced participants, the two days should see the completion of long-standing projects and plenty time to devise and begin new projects, or learn new techniques.

The two day workshops cost £120 (which includes all materials, tea and coffee and lunch), and a 50% deposit (£60) will be requested on receipt of your booking. Numbers will be limited to 6 participants per course.
