Copper Foil Stained Glass Lantern Workshop - Saturday 24th October 2026

10am - 4pm, October 24, 2026

Lechlade Memorial Hall Pavilion, Oak Street, Lechlade GL7 3AY

Join us for a relaxed, fun, and friendly workshop to learn the techniques of Copper Foiled Stained Glass.

These lanterns are perfect to use anywhere but particularly beautiful outdoors in the evening and if you use a citronella candle it will even keep the biting beasties away!

Using the Tiffany method of copper foiling, you will make one copper foil panel, from a design supplied by the tutor, to replace the plain clear glass in an IKEA lantern. Time permitting you can replace up to 3 of the remaining panels with plain coloured glass panels.

Copper foiling is ideal for more delicate and less heavy designs, allowing smaller pieces to be used. Join tutor Sharon for a fun day and leave at the end of the workshop with a beautiful copper foiled stained glass lantern.

After a short health & safety briefing, you will learn:
- how to prepare and cut glass
- how to apply an adhesive backed copper tape known as foiling
- burnishing and fluxing
- how to solder pieces together
- finishing and polishing

This workshop is aimed at beginners and those who have some experience of glass cutting and looking to develop their skills further.

Note: Customers must wear closed-toe shoes, you will be using sharp tools and hot soldering irons. For these reasons, there is an age limit of over 18s only, and it is not suitable for pregnant women due to the lead-based solder used.

£90 – includes tea & coffee and biscuits. Please bring lunch. There will be an extra cost of £20 - £25 to cover materials, depending on the design you make, payable to the tutor on the day.

Customer cancellation deadline: 9th October
