Decorative stained glass workshop

Posted:19 March 2012

As you walk through your garden, something sparkles and catches your eye.  How wonderful if it is an artwork you have made yourself…

Last Saturday’s stained glass workshop led by Annie McMullan offered just that, a thoroughly enjoyable day learning a new craft and taking the resulting stained glass decorative panel home: “This is going to hang in my garden where it will catch the light.  I cant believe I achieved this all in one day!”

Fused glass ‘flower pictures’ were made in advance by Annie the students selected one of these then picked out complementing colours of stained glass to go with it, and under Annie’s experienced eye they then cut the lead and soldered the panel together.

Annie said: “What a fantastic and enthusiastic group of women, they all learnt the skills really fast.  Although initially a bit uncertain about cutting glass they soon overcame their fears and were cutting with great skill!

Some particularly loved the leadwork part of the workshop where you cut the lead to hold the glass into place, while others did very well using the soldering iron.

By the end of the day everyone had produced a beautiful piece of stained glass. I think everyone should all be very proud of their achievements.  The day was a real mixture of creativity, concentration and fun.”

Wonderful, another successful Garden House event!  Check out Annie’s website www.anniemcmullan.co.uk
