Stained Glass Painting taster class. This taster class will offer an introduction to stained glass painting, led by experienced artist Colette Langan. You will have the opportunity to try traditional
glass painting techniques using the materials and tools provided to produce your own hand painted piece. All materials will be provided. No experience necessary! Who should attend? This taster day is for anyone who has an interest in stained glass painting. Your work will be fired by Colette making it a permanent art piece which you will be able to frame and keep forever. Once the glass has been fired it will be returned to St Nicholas’ where you will be able to collect it. No previous experience is required, and you will be guided by an experienced craftsperson, facilitator and award-winning artist with a wealth of experience of creating and restoring stained glass windows.
