Location
The Lighthouse,13 Lynn Rd, Ely CB7 4EG
Directions
The Lighthouse is located on Lynn Road and is a couple of minutes’ walk from Ely Cathedral. The workshops do occasionally overrun, so if you are arriving by train, we advise you allow an extra 30-40 mins when booking your return trip.
About the workshop

All materials (glass, lead, solder etc. are provided) and tools are available for the use of the participants, although you may prefer to bring your own. You will be taken through each step of the process of constructing a panel and will practise the techniques before making your own panel.
You time will be primarily spent learning to cut glass along cutlines provided (though you are welcome to bring your own simple design). Once all your glass pieces are cut to size and shape, you will then be shown how to piece them together using lead joints and solder.
Lunch: There may be up to an hour’s break for lunch. Lunch is not provided, but there are many nearby cafes and sandwich shops or you can bring a packed lunch.
[What to bring:] You may like to wear old clothes or overalls.
Physical Ability: Please note this workshop requires participants to stand and work at a workbench so a reasonable level of fitness and physical ability is required.
Health & Safety: Please note that, because of the lead content in the solder, this workshop is not suitable if you are pregnant or breast feeding.
Cost: £120 per person including materials, equipment and tuition
Friends of the Museum receive 10% discount
Suitable for age 18+

"As i had already attended this day course last year i wanted to develop my skill as i have set up a small workshop at home. Claire showed me many useful techniques to enable me to complete my work more effectively. I have learnt such a lot from this one day course. Excellent I recommend it to anyone who is interested in stained glass"
