Classes
Advanced students working on their panels
We run regular classes for experienced students as well as beginners. Classes are run for the needs of the students and cover such diverse subjects as lead working in stained glass; foil working; mosaics; appliqué work and renovation/restoration of stained glass panels. Ian has been running classes in stained glass for over 20 years and is a fully qualified teacher with lots of patience. Many students have their own tools but most of the tools required are supplied by Ian so there is no requirement to buy a lot of equipment. You just need to have the enthusiasm to learn and the necessary availability and within a surprisingly short time, you will be making items on your own and with your own designs.

Ian is currently coming to the end of his winter classes. Owing to the need to allow time for surgery, Ian will not be running any more classes until the Autumn. It is hoped to start classes for experienced students again on Thursday evenings starting on the 2nd October and finishing on the 11th December 2025. A new class for beginners is planned to start on Tuesday evenings from the 30th September and finishing on the 9th December 2025. A venue has yet to be arranged but it will be in the Altrincham area. A fee has not yet been decided but given the fact that it is a 10 week course with 2.5 hours tuition per night and includes all materials, it is likely to be in the region of £450 per student.
If you are interested in any of the classes, please contact us and we can inform you of available places and provide further details.
Here are some examples of the students work:-
