Copper Foiled Christmas Decorations

Description

An opportunity to learn a new skill from scratch to make a selection of beautiful copper foiled Christmas decorations! Whether you want to use your teacher's templates or design your own with guidance, you will choose from a beautiful selection of colourful glass and learn the copper-foiling technique; a modern stained glass construction process. You can expect to make 3 - 6 decorations, depending on your speed of making and complexity of your designs. This workshop utilises the full process from start to finish, and you will receive all of the necessary information to continue copper-foiling with confidence should you wish to pursue it further. All materials and use of tools are included. Minimum age to attend is 16.
