Come along and try the heritage craft of leaded glass panel making on 28 March, 10am to 4pm, at Rookhope Village Hall.  In this workshop, led by Green Ginger Glass, you will be taught how to cut coloured and textured glass to the pattern supplied by your tutor and create an A5 Art Deco sunrise design panel. You will then bind the pieces of glass together and lead solder the joints to join and finish off the panel.

You will also learn about one of the practical uses for lead and why the presence of this metal in the North Pennines created an enormous industry in the past. Due to working with lead in this workshop please let us know at the point of booking if you are pregnant, or suspect you may be as we will require additional health & safety precautions for you to take part. The workshop is suitable for ages 18+.

We are offering 2 bursary places for this course making it free as opposed to the cost of £30. There is no strict criteria for these places, they are available for anyone for whom the cost is prohibitive. To request a bursary place please email rebecca@northpennines.org.uk.
