Learn How to Make a Traditional Leaded Stained Glass Panel
Discover the timeless art of stained glass in this inspiring one-day leaded stained glass workshop. Throughout the day, you’ll design and create your own traditional leaded stained glass panel while learning the skills and techniques that craftspeople have used for generations. Perfect for beginners, this hands-on course offers a rewarding introduction to one of the most beautiful traditional crafts.
During the workshop, you’ll explore every stage of the stained glass making process. First, you’ll choose a design and select from a stunning range of coloured, textured, and decorative glass. Next, you’ll learn how to cut and shape the glass accurately before assembling your panel using traditional lead came. Finally, you’ll solder and finish your work, transforming individual pieces of glass into a beautiful completed panel.

Whether you’re completely new to stained glass or looking to develop existing skills, you’ll receive expert guidance and practical demonstrations throughout the day.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created a stunning handcrafted leaded stained glass panel to take home and enjoy. You can display your finished piece indoors as a decorative window hanging or place it in a garden setting, where the colours and textures will catch and reflect the light beautifully.
Not only will you learn valuable new skills, but you’ll also experience the satisfaction of creating something unique with your own hands. With all materials, tools, and equipment provided, you can simply immerse yourself in the creative process and enjoy a relaxed day of traditional stained glass making in a friendly and supportive workshop environment.

Steve Woodward –
Gigha is a great teacher. This was my first time working with stained glass and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Gigha gave good advice on my intended design to make sure that I finished my piece by the end of the day. The workshop is well stocked, has all the tools you need and plenty of examples of Gigha’s work for inspiration. A wonderful day, thoroughly recommended, I will be back. Thanks Gigha.
