This little project is a perfect taster for stained glass! In this small group workshop, you will learn the Tiffany technique to create your own eye-catching piece of stained glass diamond-shaped suncatcher to take home!
The Tiffany technique, also known as the copper foil method, is a stained glass assembly technique invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany. It involves wrapping each piece of glass with a thin copper foil and then soldering the pieces together, allowing for more intricate and detailed designs compared to traditional lead came methods. This technique revolutionised stained glass art, enabling the creation of elaborate pieces like the famous Tiffany lamps.
During this workshop, you will learn:
  • Cutting glass to patterns
  • Copper foiling
  • Soldering
By the end of the class, you can take home your stained glass diamond-shaped suncatcher to adorn your space!

Hi, I'm Lena. I'm a glass enthusiast and a budding artist.

My glass journey started with a simple engraving project. I explored glass blowing and lampwork at a casual capacity. My training for leadlighting and copper foiling at Melbourne Polytechnic solidified my passion for cold working glass art.
I've always been drawn to the beauty and versatility of glass, and how it can be transformed by light, heat, and creativity. I hope to share my passion and vision with others through my glass art and teaching.
