Events East Toowoomba, Toowoomba, Queensland

Design, cut and create a stunning stained-glass panel for your home with artisan Michele Hollister in this two-day workshop.
Learn all about the practice of leadlighting and design your own template which you will then construct in glass.
Techniques will include cutting glass, selecting colours and glass types, grinding, leading, soldering, and waterproofing. All works will be cement sealed, lead blackened and polished, and participants will walk away with a fully framed, polished, and fitted glass panel.
