Stained glass – Autumn dates and Projects

Love Withington Baths Stained glass – Schools engagement project.

This Summer along with running workshops, I finished making a series of stained glass panels for Love Withington Baths, co-designed in an engagement project with 5 local primary schools. So much fun working with a small group of about 18 – 30 children from each school to understand and design a window representing ‘Welcome’ using universal themes. I love these windows, they are brave, happy and most definitely welcoming. They are in the entrance to studio two, within the baths, which are worth checking out if you are in the Withington area. I am about to start work on a second window for the Café area in the baths, co-designed with the Step Learners at the Withington Adult Learning Centre.

I also met lots of lovely people in the run workshops I run. They are new workshop dates for Autumn on the website, although some workshops are full, still lots of places left on some dates: a new one day stained glass for beginners workshop, an Introduction to Copper Foiling workshop and the Wednesday Morning 8 week course. Another Wednesday Morning course will be starting mid November.

Do check out all these fabulous pieces made by people attending the workshops, and a couple of small painted pieces I made.

What is happening in May ’22?

Wednesday Morning Stained glass course starting 11th May, that’s what 😀

On the 11th May the Wednesday morning stained glass 8 week course starts. It is suitable for beginners and those with experience alike, where you can develop your own project under the guidance of the tutor.

It is a small class, now going back to 4 people, which still allows for lots of support and time with the tutor, that’s me. It is good to be on a course with others, as well as the nice company and chatter, one has the benefit of hearing and sharing lots of creative ideas, I often been inspired by the design ideas of students. Quite often I’d like to keep their work too! (but of course everyone does take their lovely finished panels home 🙂

The studio is in Hope Mill, a grade two listed building and part of the AWOL STUDIOS, in Ancoats. It less than 5 minutes from New Islington tram stop, which is one stop form Manchester Piccadilly and has a big car park.

I think my studio is a friendly place, always lots of tea, coffee, herb tea and yummy biscuits and chocolates, it’s a given it helps the creative process.

Made over a few Wednesday daytime courses
