Glass Painting Workshop with Derek Hunt

*** FULLY BOOKED *** Please contact us for waiting list


Event category: Adult Workshop

Price: £120 per person including all materials, equipment and tuition
Location: The Stained Glass Museum, South Triforium, Ely Cathedral, Ely, Cambridgeshire CB7 4DL
Book

The art of painting on glass was mastered in the medieval period. Over the following centuries, stained glass artists have used painting techniques to draw with line and light, to create depth and detail, and to control the atmospheric quality of light’s transmission through glass.
In this practical workshop, glass artist Derek Hunt will teach traditional painting techniques. Using vitreous pigment and silver stain on clear glass, students learn to work with a variety of brushes, sticks, quills and sponges to create different effects and shading in both wet and dry matts. Glass work will be fired at intervals throughout the workshop, and ready to take home at the end of the day.

The Stained Glass Museum is a hidden gem in Ely, and one of only a handful of such museums in the world. Located on an upper level of Ely Cathedral, the museum has a national collection of stained glass window art, much of which was rescued from redundant churches, hospitals or houses. In the museum's main gallery you can see illuminated examples of this historic art from the 13th to the 21st centuries up close and at eye-level.

The museum is opening outside of its usual opening hours during Heritage Open Weekend with FREE ENTRY (usual admission price £4.50). Spotlight tours will be running during these events. Led by a member of our staff team and lasting 5-10 mins these tours will shine a spotlight on different aspects of our collection, giving you a greater insight into the artworks on display.

Pre-booking is not necessary, but please note we may have to limit numbers to one in / one out during busy times due to capacity.
