Stained Glass Mobile, Bunting & Window Valance Workshop
Create a beautiful stained glass hanging decoration in just one day!
Join us for a fun and inspiring stained glass workshop where you’ll design and create your own unique stained glass mobile, decorative bunting, or stunning window valance using the traditional Tiffany copper foil method.
Suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some stained glass experience, this hands-on workshop will guide you through every stage of the process. You’ll have access to a beautiful selection of coloured, textured, and iridescent glass, allowing you to create a truly individual piece that reflects your own style.
Throughout the day, you will learn essential stained glass techniques, including:
• Safe and accurate glass cutting
• Shaping and refining glass using a grinder
• Copper foiling techniques
• Soldering and assembly using the Tiffany method
• Designing and constructing a balanced hanging piece
To complete your creation, you’ll be able to choose from a selection of natural driftwood, providing the perfect finishing touch for your stained glass mobile or hanging artwork.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a beautiful handcrafted stained glass piece ready to display in your home, conservatory, garden room, or window.
Perfect for anyone looking to learn stained glass, enjoy a creative day out, or create a unique handmade gift.
All materials and tools are provided. Spaces are limited, so advance booking is recommended.

I had the best day here! The tutor is a lovely lady who explained each step and demonstrated everything really clearly. The range of glass colours and textures is amazing! There are many beautiful designs on display to inspire you and the work space warm and cozy with a fireplace. Tea and biscuits flowed along with a delicious lunch that was prepared for us.
I love the mobile I made and look forward to trying out one of the other great courses on offer very soon 🙂x

Driftwood Stained Glass Workshop
I thoroughly enjoyed my glass workshop with Gigha and the other ladies who attended. I was a complete novice and did not take to glass making naturally but with Gigha’s patience and excellent tuition, I was able to make a lovely mobile in the end. I will definitely return as I now have the bug. The venue, lunch, refreshments, duration of course were all spot on so I would recommend this to anyone who has seen glass made by other people, give it a go you might surprise yourself! Sue

Enjoyable day learning something new in a nice relaxed way and I came home with a mobile 100% made by me which already looks great in the window. Thanks for such a good first experience….I will be back.
