Stained Glass really shines its brightest in these golden autumnal evenings. Join glass artist Sam Yates for a relaxed and friendly stained glass workshop. The mixed ability session will be providing beginners and intermediate glass workers with essential tools to build something you can be proud of.

You’ll learn how to use glass tools, cut shapes and understand the difference between copper foil and leaded technique. These will then allow you to create your own unique design which you can take home on the day.

Spend a mindful Saturday being creative with your hands and letting your mind unwind while you make something you can admire all year round.

Please note – this workshop is only suitable for adults over 18.
