Ready to take your stained-glass skills to the next level? This workshop is designed for makers who want to explore the timeless craft of leaded stained glass. If you’ve taken one of Kristin’s intro classes, you’ve likely learned the copper foil method. In this session, Kristin will guide you through the traditional leaded method—a centuries-old technique that predates copper foil and has been used since the Middle Ages to create the breathtaking windows found in Gothic cathedrals. Remarkably, this process has remained virtually unchanged for over 500 years and continues to be practiced by artists today.
In this half-day intensive, you’ll learn assembly and construction techniques specific to leaded glass, with instruction tailored to both small and larger projects. Kristin will demonstrate the glazing process step by step and then guide you as you create your own 7” x 7” geometric panel. The focus will be on design and assembly (not cutting), so students of all levels are welcome to join.
Come immerse yourself in this historic art form and leave with a deeper appreciation for one of the most enduring stained-glass traditions.
