Copperfoiling Glass Art Workshop

In this this two-day workshop, you'll design and assemble a vibrant suncatcher or kaleidoscope using the copperfoil technique. Similar to leadlighting, copperfoiling uses a different method to join pieces of glass, allowing for the creation of three-dimensional works such as lamps, boxes and suncatchers. You'll learn how to cut glass, apply the foil, and solder your piece together to create your own unique artwork. This workshop is not suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
