Evening Copper Foil Stained Glass Course

Learn the art of copper foil stained glass with our four-week course in Melbourne!



4 x 3 hours Class size 1 to 6 guests       $460 (PayPal Pay in 4 available)

Join us to create a beautiful copper foil stained glass artwork in Melbourne! This introductory workshop series will teach you everything you need to know about the copper foil stained glass technique over four consecutive Monday nights.
The copper foil method makes for a gentle introduction to glass art and allows you to explore a variety of shapes and colours using delicate pieces to make smaller scale stained glass artworks like suncatchers and wall hangings.
Delivered by glass artist and community arts facilitator, Fiona Caskie (AKA My Imaginary Heart), the workshop series is limited to a small group for individualised attention and focused learning. Patterns are provided, and you will create two small suncatchers and a hanging piece or wall panel that you can take home to enjoy.
Learners who have completed one full four-week course are welcome to book again to build upon skills to complete 3D copper foil constructions like candleholders or terrariums, or more complex 2D flat panel forms.
Designed for complete beginners (advanced learners and refreshers welcome), you will learn how to:
  • Cut glass using three different tools
  • Grind and shape glass to a pattern
  • Apply copper foil to glass
  • Construct your project using soldering tools
  • Complete a simple repair
  • Utilise finishing techniques to polish and display your item
Please note: Glaas Inc advises that stained glass work is not recommended for those pregnant/breastfeeding and we encourage potential students to seek further advice from their GP before participating.
