Painting on Glass

About this event

This painting on glass beginners class course is designed to teach the basic traditional techniques which have been used for centuries, if want to know how to paint on glass to enhance leaded stained glass panels this is for you. We will be practicing traditional techniques used to make church and cathedral stained glass, including silver staining. Once the vitreous paint is fired in the kiln it becomes part of the glass and is permanent. It is possible to fire the glass several times adding layers of paint until you are happy with your work, with practise it is possible to reduce the number of firings needed with a few techniques we will show you on the course.
