Copper Foiling Workshop - Make a Candle Lantern

Set the tone of a room with your own Stained Glass Candle Lantern and learn the copper-foiling technique; a modern construction process that allows you to create 3D shapes using copper tape and solder. In this hand-on day course you'll be able to pick from a wide selection of glass colours to make your lantern from. You also have the option to choose a patina mirrored back to give a subtle antique effect. You'll learn how to cut and solder your glass pieces together and end the day with your own piece of art for the home or garden which can be used hanging or standing.

What to expect

• Choose from a wide selection of beautiful coloured glass
• You will have the option to choose a patina mirrored back to give a subtle antique effect
• The result will be a one-off eye-catching lantern that can be hung on a wall or stood on a table
• Your lantern's finished size will be 20cm x 8cm

This workshop utilises the full process from start to finish, and you will receive all of the necessary information to continue copper-foiling with confidence should you wish to pursue it further.
