Stained Glass Taster Workshop - Dunamaise Arts Centre

📅   Sat 8th August 

📍   Dunamaise Arts Centre, Laois, R32 W93P

Looking for a unique and creative way to spend your weekend? Join me at Dunamaise Arts Centre for a Stained Glass Taster Workshop and create your own beautiful stained glass piece to take home.

Designed for beginners, this relaxed and creative workshop introduces the traditional stained glass techniques of copper foiling and soldering. Participants will choose from five designs and work with pre-cut and pre-ground glass pieces, allowing them to focus on the making process and enjoy the experience.

Guided through each step, you will create a finished stained glass piece ready to display in your home.

Throughout the session, enjoy a selection of refreshments, including San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water, San Pellegrino Limonata (lemon), San Pellegrino Aranciata (orange), Fentimans Sparkling Wild Elderflower, Fentimans Classic Rose Lemonade, and chilled orange juice.

No experience necessary. Limited spaces available.
