A fun one day course where you will learn the traditional skill of painting on stained glass using Reuche paints. We will spend the day learning traditional techniques of line work and matting and explore more experimental approaches to painting and mark making.
You will create two smaller paintings on glass to try out techniques and build understanding and confidence and then you will design your own panel inspired by the natural world. We will translate your design into a cartoon (line drawing of your design), select and cut the glass for your panel, painting your design onto the different sections.
Reuche paint requires firing in the kiln which I will do for you and lead up your panels, which will be sent well wrapped in the post to you, then you can hang your creation in a window and enjoy all your hard work!
More details about the day:
demonstrations of techniques to support your making
create a small circular nest using the matting technique
tracing and line work from an image working on the light box
create a deign entirely of your own, or use templates I have created or a combination of the two. your panel will be approximately 20cms x 15cms
develop a cartoon to work from
learn to cut the glass
using a variety of paint techniques to realise your design
there will be resources, examples & books support & inspire you
use of the nature reserve to inspire
guidance & support at a level to suit you
This course is suitable for complete beginners or someone with artistic experience.
The course will be held in the classroom at the beautiful Avon Wildlife Trust’s Grow Wilder site.
Tea, coffee & cake will be provided, you will need to bring a packed lunch which we will be able to enjoy in the nature reserve.

Courses run from 10am-4pm
