Copper Foil Stained Glass Workshop
Course Description
Whether you’re a beginner or looking for a refresher in copper foil, this course will teach you how to make a beautiful sun catcher of your choice from several pre-designed templates. You will be taught how to select and cut the glass, how to grind the edges, foil, flux, and then solder. Finally how to clean and finish your work. By the end of the day, you will have created something colourful and creative to take home and hang in your window.
The Tutor
Jo Munford is a professional stained glass artist creating original glass art from her studio in Netley Abbey, Hampshire. Jo works mainly to commission mixing traditional stained glass techniques, both lead work and copper foil with contemporary concepts to create original bespoke glass art work, windows, interior and exterior sculptures and yacht replicas. Her pieces are a fusion of glass, metal and foraged wood. Each glass piece is inspired by the wood, structure or space it will inhabit. Glass choices compliment the designs encompassing beautiful bubbles, streaks, striations, patterns and colour fades.
