Stained Glass Santa & Stars Workshop – Festive Tiffany Method Class

Join us at Riverside Beads & Crafts in Market Deeping, near Peterborough for our festive Stained Glass Santa & Stars Workshop. In this immersive 3-4 hour class, you’ll create two beautiful Christmas tree decorations using the traditional copper foiling (Tiffany) method. Pictures show some of the options available.

Guided by experienced glass tutors Bev & John, you’ll learn how to make a cheeky Santa decoration and a double star design, perfect for adding handmade sparkle to your Christmas tree or gifting to someone special.

You’ll begin by selecting your stained glass pieces, then learn how to cut and grind the glass to shape. As the workshop progresses, you’ll apply copper foil to the edges and carefully solder your designs together. Finally, you’ll finish your decorations, ready to hang and enjoy.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners, as well as anyone looking to learn traditional stained glass techniques in a relaxed and festive environment.
