Saturday's leaded glass mirror half-day experiences, taught by the wonderfully talented Katherine from Number 8 Glass, were such fun with everyone creating the most beautiful mirrors using traditional, heritage techniques for cutting the lead and using specialist nails to position the glass in place.

Katherine invited each student to choose their own colours and textures of glass, and then instructed them in how to position and nail their work in place on the specialist boards provided.

The participants were then taught how to work with the profiled lead lengths and sandwich the glass between the sections. Everything was firmly nailed in place. The joints were fluxed and then each student was taught how to solder their own joins to create their unique and beautiful mirrors.


We kept the group's creativity going by fuelling them with teas, coffees & plenty of tasty bakes courtesy of Fanoggins Bakery.


The photos here provide a great insight into this wonderful experience. Katherine will be returning to our studios next year to provide some full-day workshops. So watch this space :-).

"I joined the half day leaded glass mirror workshop at Blended Monkey and I had the most wonderful morning!

 

Simon & Louise welcomed us with a lovely cup of tea and Katherine was just brilliant! She was clearly very knowledgeable in her craft and so patient in helping us create our beautiful mirrors. There was lots of chat, plenty of laughs and a lovely mirror to take home at the end.

 

I must not forget the incredible freshly baked (warm from the oven) goodies provided by the amazing Fanoggins Bakery. It was just a fantastic morning 😊

 

Thank you to everyone involved in making these experiences such fun, I have already booked my next workshop and am very much looking forward to my next visit."
