Stained Glass Leadlighting course Auckland

This Stained Glass/Leadlighting course welcomes all levels. Taught by glass artist Neil Craik.
Learn or develop your knowledge of the basics, from copper foil to lead lighting, while you work on your own stained glass project.

Beginners:
You will learn glass cutting techniques while making fantastic objects. Materials and equipment costs vary. Beginners buy a materials pack ($15) for their first two small projects payable to the tutor on the first night.
• Learn safe glass cutting techniques
• Insights on designing glass art
• Knowledge of how to fit your individual glass pieces together to make a finished product in leadlight/ foil
• How to use the tools in the workshop and soldering

Experienced:
You are free to work on any project you wish with the support of our tutor, Neil.

HOW MANY PIECES CAN I MAKE IN A TERM?

Depends on what you are working on. Most students make multiple pieces, however, if you work on a complex project you may decide to spend more time on it.

WHAT TO BRING?

Please bring $15 to pay for the beginner’s pack on the first night, and safety glasses for cutting glass. Some glasses will be available if you do not have any of your own.
