Architectural Stained Glass: The Journey from Paper to Glass | Course 11
The possibilities for translating sketches, designs, or paintings on paper into captivating stained glass creations are endless. Whether the aim is to craft a small panel for a specific location or an independent work of art for exhibition, throughout the class we will learn the techniques required to craft traditional leaded glass panels or laminated glass pieces using two-part silicone adhesive.
Embracing creativity and experimentation, we will follow a dynamic, hands-on approach to stained glass making. Using Lamberts mouth-blown glass, we will explore and combine techniques such as sandblasting, glass painting, enamelling and silver staining to bring our designs to life in vibrant colours and luminous light.
Starting with our own designs or sketches, we will discuss ways of translating them into glass. Step by step, we will move from experimenting with mark-making and textures to selecting the perfect glass for our vision, ultimately applying these techniques to create our final piece. The class is suitable for all skill levels.

Risk & Resonance | A Symposium for Stained Glass
At a symposium held at Bild-Werk Frauenau and the Frauenau Glass Museum, we will bring together the experiences of a summer dedicated to stained glass. Keynote presentations and panel discussions will address the preservation of traditional craftsmans- hip, public recognition and visibility, support for emerging talent, and cross-border networking in contemporary stained glass practice. The goal of RISK & RESONANCE is to explore new perspectives for the future of stained glass in all its diverse forms. Frauenau — the glass heart of the Eastern Bavarian glass region — aims to become a forum and hotspot for stained glass and flat glass art.
Contemporary Glass Society | Glass in Wales Symposium
The Aberystwyth symposium offers glass makers, and others interested in glass, the opportunity to get together, hear speakers and network. Catrin Jones will talk about the background and process of making glass artworks for the public realm, remaining adaptable, the challenges involved in working to a brief, a budget and to a deadline, culminating in her most recent project for 'The Leri', a new cancer unit for Bronglais hospital, Aberystwyth.
