Advanced Leading
Workshop

Learn how to bring more detail and painterly flow to your leaded stained glass without glass painting.

Description of Workshop:

This workshop will take the participant through the basics of creating lead lines of varying width, extensions and overlays to not just separate the glass colour fields but to add some interest to the lead line and give your stained glass design a more painterly flow.

We will also be inserting a lead wrapped glass elements into glass sheet.

Note that copper foil overlays can also be used in leaded panels.
