1. It reduces stress and anxiety - creative activities impact the body in a way similar to meditation, and decreasing stress protects your overall health. Give yourself permission to relax, and have fun with it.

2. It's mentally stimulating - when you start creating, you have a certain end target in your mind. It's a personal challenge which makes you better at problem-solving. 

3. It improves your mood - creative activities have been shown to improve overall emotional health.


4. Creativity encourages creative thinking and lets you come up with your own solutions. Every time you engage in a new or complex activity, you create new connections between brain cells.

5. Make friends - it's social! Getting together for a creative class promotes more than happiness, it promotes health too. 
 What are you waiting for? Get some colourful creativity in your life. There's something to suit everyone, from absolute beginners to experienced glass crafters. Please take a look at the different workshops planned for 2018.

I offer three different types of stained glass workshop:

Copper Foil method (Tiffany style)
This refers to the style of Louis Comfort Tiffany where each piece of glass is edged in copper foil before being soldered together. This method is generally used for making gifts and smaller pieces such as bunting and suncatchers.

Traditional Leaded Windows  
In these classes, we use the centuries-old method which has hardly changed for 800 years. A panel or window consists of pieces of coloured glass held together with strips of preformed lead channel which is then soldered and cemented. Students can complete a window up to A3 size on a 2-day workshop.

Stained Glass Mosaics
This is the process of creating a design or pattern using small pieces of stained glass adhered to either a mirror, glass sheet, vase or wooden shape. Students can complete up a mosaic up to A4 size on a 1-day workshop.
