Alongside my regular one day group classes (details of those can be seen on my website) I run these on demand private one-on-one classes. These are for individuals or private groups who want to have my full attention, either to create a larger piece with my close guidance or now in these COVID times to limit their exposure to others.
The class will be personally designed around the technique or project that is the focus. The course can cover both "Tiffany" copper foiling and leaded styles and both of these can be explored in these classes or even hybrid techniques. There is also opportunity for doing kiln fired glass painting, silver staining and enamelling. As I use superfast Dutch Gas kilns we can actually paint fire and combine work in a piece in the space of a single day. The joy of these classes is you bring your own ideas! You can contact to discuss by email the practicality of attempting a particular piece so that the day is tailored to your needs. I have had a whole range of couples, friends, hen and stag groups and family groups and produced some truely beautiful pieces on these private days. As an established business with over 15 years of experience of Glasswork and Teaching as Le Breton Traditional I have lots of examples of different projects that you can undertake if you need inspiration.
The course cost is £315 for up to 3 participants. Additional participants can be added if required at an extra cost of £85 per person. Please enquire for possible dates that can be arranged.
You can Learn - to cut glass confidently, to create and work to a design, to paint and silver stain beautiful details onto your glass and to copper foil or lead a piece together with solder
These leisure based courses are run at the Devon Applied Arts Workshop ("DAA Workshop" for short!) just outside Silverton Devon, the postcode is EX5 4DU.
Due to the care needed when handling lead (particularly for children) I have specific arrangements and procedures in place to ensure full safety at all times. It is also not advisable for pregnant women to attend.
Note that I am also running regular monthly group classes on the last Saturdays and Sundays of the month which are a lower cost. Check my website for details
If you wish to book as a (surprise) present for a loved one please do contact me to check on availability of specific dates.
The £315 cost covers all tools and materials for 3 people. Additional participants can be added for £85 per extra person. Teas and coffees biscuits and soft drinks are included, but food isn't included, so you will need to bring a packed lunch.
Not at all. I have years of experience in teaching absolute beginners who are often amazed at what they end up producing.
Yes it is, often they are quicker at it than adults. I do have a minimum age of 9 years though as a rule.
I teach classes both ways. It is very much a case of deciding before the day how you want the day to go and then shaping it to be the best experience suited to you or the group.
