Glass workshop

The Stained Glass Workshop will be holding  a ‘Practical Introduction to Working in Leaded Stained Glass’ starting 14th February at Lydiate Village Centre.  There will be 5 weekly sessions covering Design, Glass cutting, Lead work and finishing off.   By the end of the course each participant will have made a small piece of stained glass.  The cost of the course, including all materials, is £15. Places are limited so for further information or to book a place please talk to someone at the Glass Workshop Desk on a Tuesday or call in at one of our usual sessions on Friday afternoons.  The course will run alongside the usual workshops and some workshop members will be participating in the course instead of working on their own projects. So that we can make sure we have sufficient materials etc. we will set 3rd Feb as the last day for bookings and anyone wanting to book after that would go on to a reserve list. (Maybe come along as an observer!)
