Set the tone of a room with a Stained Glass Candle Lamp of your own design. Choose from a beautiful selection of colourful glass and learn the copper-foiling technique; a modern construction process that allows you to create 3D shapes using copper tape and solder. You will create a design for the forward facing panel of your four-sided lamp and choose textured or patterned glass for the other three sides. There will be lots of designs to choose from, or you can create your own with Catherine's guidance. You will build a mirrored base into your lamp to help your candle illuminate the colours. The result will be a one-off eye-catching piece of functional art. Your candle lamp will have a 10cm square footprint and be 15cm tall. A free candle will be provided to complete the lamp. This workshop utilises the full process from start to finish, and you will receive all of the necessary information to continue copper-foiling with confidence should you wish to pursue it further.

Essential Info

Please wear closed-toed shoes and tie back long hair. Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty or bring an apron. Due to the use of lead it is recommended that pregnant women do not attend. Use of a soldering flux derived from animal fat is necessary on this course, so regrettably it is not vegan.

The course times are 10am – 4pm. There will be a 45-minute lunch break. Lunch is by your own arrangement, I recommend bringing a packed lunch but there are also shops and cafes locally.

This course takes place at Garth Olwg Lifelong Learning Centre, St Illtyds Road, Church Village, Rhondda Cynon Taff, CF38 1RQ. Please aim to arrive five minutes ahead of the course start time so that we can get the fun started promptly!

On booking you will receive a booking confirmation email, I will have a record of this too and you do not need to bring a copy with you.
