How can we help?
Q: Can I design my own Leadlight? / Can I bring my own pattern?
Unfortunately there isn't time to teach you how to design your own design in the class. We have also designed all of the patterns to be able to be completed by beginners in the allotted time, and with pieces that are of different levels of challenge so you learn to cut different curves and types of shapes.
Q: Can I bring along a panel to repair instead of doing one of your Pattern?
We aren't able to teach repairing leadlight in our weekend workshops, but you will learn how to do a leadlight from start to finish and the instructors will happily talk you through the additional steps to repair a window. Alternatively you can attend our term classes where you are able to come along for a 10 week term and be assisted to repair your own panel.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: No cancellations, but free to reschedule up until 7 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 2 x 5 hours, $370 - $375 per guest ($375 per guest when you book for 1 guest, $370/guest for 2+ guests)

Learn to Cut Glass
After a quick overview of the tools and process involved in making a leadlight window, you will practice using a glass cutter to cut both straight lines and curves
Choose Your Pattern & Set Up Project
One you have a handle on basic cutting, you will choose your window pattern and set up your board so that you can start making your own window!
Choosing Your Coloured Glass
We have a huge range of glass textures and shapes for you to choose from to make your window your own! We will discuss how to make the window look cohesive and how some glass is more difficult to cut than others
Refining the Shape of Glass with a Grinder
As you work some pieces of glass may need to be refined a little bit to make them fit properly in your pattern, you will be guided in how to use one of our grinders to make sure that every piece fits perfectly!
Leading the Window
Over the remainder of Saturday you will work on putting your window together, making each piece perfect, before cutting the lead and locking it in place.
Soldering Your Window
On the second day you will finish laying out your window if you were quite done on Saturday before learning to use flux, solder and a soldering iron to permanently hold your panel together on both sides.
Stopping the Rattling Glass
Now you have a strong and beautiful window we will show you how to putty the lead so that the window becomes water tight and doesn't rattle in the wind, you will then be shown how to buff your panel to strengthen it.
Cleaning the Finished Window
The final step is to clean the glass from the putty and buffing so that you have a beautiful window that is ready to be displayed with pride in your home!
