Stained-glass copper foil panel 4 day course

Make a beautiful Stained-glass copper foil panel with Multimedia Artist and Maker Arthur Scott.

Arthur Scott will lead you through creating your own stained-glass panel, you will be taken through the process of designing and composing your piece. You will learn the traditional skill of copper foiling and supporting knowledge in order to create your own beautiful panel. During the design process, you will consider how the light will interact with your piece and where you might place it.
