Stained Glass Large Lantern

Students will have the option of completing one or more decorated sides depending on ability. The remaining sides will have coloured glass panels.

This course will involve choosing your glass, cutting your glass, shaping and copper foiling your glass, then soldering your piece together.

This workshop is suitable for any level of experience, including total beginners.

All the materials and tools for the course will be supplied.

Included in the course fee are enough materials to complete one lantern.

Claire Fernig

Claire works with lead, copper foil and fused glass techniques from a small studio based in Felixstowe, crafting a wide range of items from traditional leaded windows to delicate fused-glass jewellery. Claire takes a lot of inspiration from nature, a love of sailing, the beach and the sea around where she works and lives. Claire accepts commissions, runs workshops and repairs leaded stained glass.

“I am very interested in using recycled glass and metals in my work along with traditional techniques. Glass is a fabulous medium in which to create beautiful designs to reflect the world.”

We have four buildings that are used for visitor accommodation. Whilst most rooms are either en-suite or have a dedicated bathroom, there are some
rooms in The Mill that share showers and toilets at the end of the hall. If this is
un-suitable for you please make the office staff aware upon booking or as soon as possible.
Please be aware that you are visiting a Field Centre that caters in the main for school parties; the accommodation is basic and dormitory style, but warm and comfortable.

Check-in is between 1600-1800, if you are arriving after 1800 please advise us, so we can ensure you are advised of access codes, room key location, and room location.

You will meet the tutor at dinner, and you will have your first session after dinner.
