Leaded Stained Glass Workshop - Friday 13th March 2026

9.30am - 4.30pm, March 13, 2026

Lechlade Craft Barn, Orchard House South, Downington, Lechlade GL7 3DL

Generally, leaded stained glass is used for larger items e.g. Church windows. In this workshop, you will make a beautiful suncatcher panel, but not the size of a church window!

Join tutor Sharon of Maybug Studio in the creative space at the Craft Barn for a workshop taking you through the next step in stained glass. This is a busy full-day workshop that requires accuracy, therefore previous experience of cutting glass is required for you to fully enjoy the day.

Moving on from copper foiling to using Lead Came to support your beautiful stained glass, you will learn new techniques for leaded stained glass. Starting with choosing a design, you will progress to set out and cut your glass, prepare, cut and solder the lead came and finish with cementing the glass in place.

This workshop is kept to a small group with a maximum of 6 to ensure everyone has the space, tools and guidance they need. By the end of the day, you will have your own unique leaded stained glass panel to hang up and enjoy.

Cost: £85 - includes tuition, use of tools, tea, coffee and biscuits. There will be an additional cost for materials on the day in the region of £30 - £45 depending on what you use. This is payable to the tutor on the day (card and cash accepted).

NOTE: Customers must wear closed toe shoes - you will be using sharp tools and hot soldering irons. This workshop is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18 years or for anyone who is pregnant due to the lead based solder used.

Please bring: lunch, make sure that long hair is tied back and bring your glasses if you wear them.

Customer cancellation deadline: 26th February
