Spring Tulip Stained Glass Light Catcher Workshop

Welcome the beauty of spring with our Spring Tulip Stained Glass Light Catcher Workshop at Riverside Beads & Crafts in Market Deeping, near Peterborough.

Join our talented glass artists, Bev and John, for a colourful and creative workshop. During this hands-on class, you will make your own beautiful stained glass tulip light catcher, inspired by the elegant shapes of Art Deco design.

This pretty, stylised tulip is perfect for brightening your window and bringing a little spring colour into your home. It also makes a thoughtful handmade Mother’s Day gift or a lovely present for someone special.

You can choose your favourite tulip colour from a selection of beautiful spring bulb shades. This allows you to personalise your finished design.

During the workshop, you will learn the traditional copper foiling method, also known as the Tiffany method. This technique uses copper foil and solder to join individual pieces of glass.

First, Bev and John will show you how to cut and grind the glass safely. Next, you will learn how to apply copper foil around the edges. You will then solder your pieces together before finishing your tulip light catcher ready to hang.

No previous stained glass experience is needed. Our experienced tutors will guide you through every stage, making this workshop ideal for complete beginners.

Whether you come with friends or join us on your own, you can enjoy a relaxed and friendly creative experience while learning something new.

Please note that glass colours and patterns may vary from the photographs, depending on availability.
