Glass workshops, art classes and excursions

My studio is a beautiful bright timberframe building overlooking the Burren and Kinvara Bay. Workshops and courses are limited to four participants,  ensuring classes are personal and individual in their approach.

I teach various techniques: copper foil, lead, glass painting, for beginners the copper foil technique is ideal and offers a wide range of designs and ideas.

Every student works at their own level and at their own piece, I have patterns to use or copy or you bring your own ideas and we work something out that suits your skill level. After some practice we can create a larger design you might like for your home or a special present.

Workshop schedule

Two different types of workshop are available. We have weekly classes. Students come for 2 to 3 hours. You can buy a workshop-card for 10 hours and hours will be ticked off as you participate. You can also pay per hour for a higher rate.

Other workshops on offer are full day courses for 3 or 4 participants. The time is sufficient to bring home at least one lovely glass design.

As I also work in tourism over the Summer there will be gaps in the weekly workshop schedule, here are the dates:

every week from July 1st to August 12th and then starting back in early September.

The next full day workshops are scheduled for July 5th, July 19th (perfect to combine with our day out in the Burren on July 17th), July 26th, August 9th, August 16th. 

Leading and glass painting workshop

Special workshops in Glass Painting and Leading for artists and advanced students are starting on Monday evenings from April 7th – this course is now fully booked. Next course will run in the autumn. For this workshop we will all work on a similar project, using your favourite theme and motives. Classes limited to three participants. Due to the process of glass painting and kiln firing it will run over several weeks for the glass painting, finishing with the process of leading at the end.

Art Classes and Excursions

A new addition are my art classes. Here we work with paper and paints to capture ideas we find in nature, for example the magical landscape of the Burren or in glass windows or other art. Those ideas can be used to create a special personal glass design from scratch.  Our next outing is on July 17th – contact me to book a place….

Furthermore I am offering excursions to East Galway, an area with plentiful examples of Celtic Revival Glass Art. Or we might take a trip to Dublin to see the Harry Clarke exhibition. I can bring up to 8 people in my own minibus…

Please contact me if you have any questions and to find out more about advanced courses and excursions.

You are a group of friends or family and want to spend some special time together creating some beautiful artwork or want to spend a special day out?  We can arrange a private workshop or excursion. 

Please feel free to talk to me about any special ideas for designs or projects.
