Sign up for glass painting masterclasses

The Architectural Glass Centre at Swansea College of Art is offering two specialist glass painting masterclasses with stained glass expert Jonathan Cooke in September 2024.

The masterclasses are suitable for both beginners and those with previous experience of glass painting. Jonathan will demonstrate and teach his techniques, as well as discussing materials, tools and firing schedules.

On the glass painting masterclass there will be ample time for participants to practise, produce samples and create finished pieces to their own designs.

An additional masterclass is available, focusing on the use of enamel and silver stains. This will feature an exploration of materials and techniques for use principally in traditional glass painting, using a range of stains, transparent and opaque enamels. It will explore a range of media and mixing techniques, plus application and firing regimes to achieve different effects and outcomes.

The glass painting masterclass takes place from 16-19 September 2024 (price £310) and the silver stain and enamel masterclass takes place on 20-22 September 2024 (price £330).

Both masterclasses will be held at UWTSD Swansea College of Art, Alex Building, Alexandra Road, Swansea SA1 5DX, Wales.
