Choose Your Workshop Option

Design Provided

You’ll work from a selection of pre-prepared designs created by the tutor and specifically adapted for a one-day beginner workshop.

All designs and patterns are prepared in advance, allowing you to focus fully on learning practical techniques such as glass cutting, foiling or leading, soldering, and finishing.

Bring Your Own Design

Participants may bring a simple design of their own, suitable for a one-day beginner workshop.

• Designs must be submitted at least one week before the workshop

• Designs will be reviewed and adjusted if needed to ensure they are achievable within the timeframe

• After booking, participants will be contacted with clear guidance on design preparation, size, and appropriate complexity

This option allows for a more personal piece while still ensuring a smooth and realistic workshop experience.
