This course held with Phil Wright. Candidates can join in this growing number of people, who enjoy making their own stained glass panels and gifts, using the craft techniques of lead lighting and copper foiling. As a beginner the candidate will be taught the basic steps, which include glass cutting, construction and finishing techniques, by completing a class project either in lead or copper foil. Candidates will then move on to creating their own project where elements of design and glass choice will be taught. Construction techniques for making mirrors, lamps, boxes, and sun-catchers will also be taught. Information and advice on the correct cutting tool for each beginner student will be provided at the first lesson, as well as, information on the various methods, techniques, materials and tools used in this craft. This fun, hands on craft, provides limitless possibilities for creating beautiful items as gifts or to decorate their home.
Enrolments will be taken by telephone, email or over the counter 09.00 to 16.00 Monday to Friday. Staff will require the applicant's name, address, telephone number and date of birth and how the candidate heard about the course. A written enrolment form is only required to be completed for ACFE funded classes.
