The Joy of Stained Glass

We are pleased to offer a hands-on stained glass workshop designed to introduce participants to the art of stained glass creation. During the workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of glass cutting, foiling, soldering, and finishing techniques while creating their own stained glass piece to take home. The workshop is suitable for beginners and requires no prior experience. All materials, tools, safety equipment, and instruction are provided.

Cost per person: €175
