Stained Glass is a magical art form that involved careful selection, heat, light and colour. It involves skills that to many will be new and quite exciting to learn so why not get hands on and give it a go yourself in this friendly and open ability workshop at Swarthmore.

The talented tutor, Samantha Yates, tailors every session to suit the experience level of the room so everyone can really get the most from the workshop. In the session, you’ll learn how to use glass tools to cut and shape glass, understand the difference between copper foil and leaded technique and be able to produce a simple design which you will take home with you.

Over the course of a relaxed Saturday daytime, you’ll learn, create, chat and unwind with like minded people. Walking away with a design you can hang in your home and be proud of.

For many years now Ian and his wife Angela have built a following that they welcome in all year around. We now have a farm shop, café, playbarn and petting farm. When we first opened we only had the usual farm animals – cows, pigs, sheep, chickens and it was free entry. We now have llamas, alpacas, meerkats, rabbits, guinea pigs, donkeys and a pony.On the working farm, we breed our own cows, pigs and sheep and we sell the meat through the farm shop and the café. If you buy a sausage sandwich from the café the sausage will be from the butcher who has made the sausage by hand using our own pork. We also produce our own free-range eggs.
