TGP1: Traditional Glass Painting – Beginners

Traditional Glass Painting – Beginners

Tutor: Warren Collins

During this course, we will look at using traditional glass painting techniques that could be used to make a stained glass panel. Over the four weeks we will cover skills involved in preparing the paint, tracing, matting and the tools necessary to achieve this. Practising these skills will be a big part of the course.
Firing schedules and the use of the Guild’s kiln will be discussed. By the end of the course, students will have several practice pieces, however, there will not be enough time to complete a full stained-glass panel.
Silver staining will be discussed but not practised during the course.

Numbers: Minimum 6, Maximum 6

Prerequisite: No experience necessary, however, students need understanding of how leadlight panels are constructed. Course is not a replacement for beginners fusing and slumping course where use and care of Guild’s kilns is taught.

Weekend: Four (4) consecutive Saturdays, 1:00pm – 5:00pm (16 hours)
