Be enchanted by glass!
Take on the challenge of cutting glass and bending lead according to your own creation during a stained-glass workshop.
You'll go home at the end of the day proud of your very own stained-glass window.
The workshop will be held at Atelier Forrier, where you will receive professional guidance.
What will you learn during the stained-glass workshop?
During the workshop, Charlotte will guide you through the creation of your own stained-glass window from start to finish. Each group consists of a maximum of 6 people, ensuring you receive excellent, individual guidance. This way, every participant will learn the basic principles of stained glass step by step. The workshop starts at 9 am and finishes at 5 pm, with a possible extension until 5:30 pm.
- Step 1: Designing a stained-glass window, starting from your own idea. No inspiration? Have a look on the World Wide Web or on the social media of Atelier Forrier. Bring a few examples with you. Throughout the day, we'll cross out what doesn't fit.
Your workpiece will be A4 size (21cm wide x 30cm high). Please note: if you have no experience of cutting glass and/or lead, try to keep it simple. (Maximum 10 glass pieces and 1 to 2 curved lines. Circles are for advanced users.)
- Step 2: Choosing the glass, based on the various textures and colours.
- Step 3: Cutting the glass to size using templates.
- Step 4: Learning how to work with lead and assembling your stained-glass window.
- Step 5: Solder the lead and polish your finished stained-glass window.
So it will be a fully packed day, full of creativity, perseverance and wonder!
Please note: if you are pregnant and/or breastfeeding, it is not recommended to attend a stained glass workshop.
