About this tour

Over three and a half hours, you'll cut, shape and assemble coloured glass into a finished piece to take home—no prior experience needed. All materials, tools and refreshments are supplied; the instructors work with whatever design appeals to you, from geometric patterns to figurative work.

What to expect
You'll start with a design chat—sketch something simple or browse reference images—then move to the bench. The instructor demonstrates each step: scoring and snapping glass, fitting pieces into lead channels (called 'came'), and soldering joints. You handle the tools yourself under guidance. It's hands-on but unhurried; expect to focus, measure twice, and learn as you go. By the end, you'll have a finished panel ready to hang, plus the confidence to attempt another.
Good to know
