Stained Glass for Beginners — Part-time

Community courses are “first steps” for adults to learn new skills, develop confidence, meet others in welcoming classroom. The purpose of courses is to support students into further learning or employment (paid or voluntary).

This course is primarily for people who haven't already studied stained glass with us before. If you are a previous learner, you may still apply but your name will be added to a waiting list and if a place becomes available nearer to the start of the course, we will contact you.

Course knowledge and skills:

• Stained glass making skills in Tiffany (copperfoil) technique.
• Researching the world of stained glass – using books and/or digital resources
• Teamwork and communication skills
• Basic glass design skills

On this course, you will learn to:

• Cut sheets of coloured glass, grind and foil the edges and then solder them together to make finished pieces of stained glass
• Develop a wider understanding of stained glass in the world around us through researching different artists or themes
• Share information with other learners in group discussions and digital formats.
• Learn and practise the basics of stained glass design.

You should attend regularly and arrive on time to make best progress on course.

You will complete a short diary weekly in class time, to record your progress and receive written tutor feedback.

You will use Microsoft Teams whilst on the course. Microsoft Teams is a free, safe online app used by Nottingham College for tutors to contact students.

Using Teams will also enable you to develop and feel confident using digital skills.
