ReplyDeleteAndrea,
ReplyDeleteThe leaded glass evening class began last Tuesday, but there is time to join in with it if you live locally.
The next weekend class on leaded glass is on the weekend of 20 -21 April. I will cover the things above, but also include the elements of painting on glass. A fuller description is available on the website:
