Create your own stained glass Christmas decorations this Christmas with artist Claire Fernig.
On this one-day course you will learn how to create a bunch of between 5 and 7 copper foiled mistletoe decorations or between 3 and 5 copper foiled holly decorations, or a mix of the two.
This course will involve choosing your glass, cutting your glass, shaping and copper foiling your glass, then soldering your piece together.
If there is enough time you can make additional flowers with a small charge for additional materials.
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 up to 7 decorations. If students wish to complete more flowers, then there will be a charge for additional materials.
Tutor: 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.”
