Escape to the thriving seaside town of Largs in Scotland for a stained-glass art retreat. This retreat offers accommodation and immersive art experiences inspired by nature and the sea. Engage in workshops led by Amanda Scott, honing your practical skills while drawing inspiration from the surrounding scenery. Reconnect with your creativity in a seaside setting, where the rhythmic sounds of the waves and the beauty of the natural world serve as your muse. Unwind, create, and rejuvenate on this unforgettable artistic journey by the Scottish seaside.
Unlock your creativity and expand your artistic horizons with our mindful workshops! Deep dive into the world of stained-glass as we explore a variety of techniques. Explore different types of glass from Wissmache Antique to shimmering waterglass. The course offers hands-on experience and expert guidance to help you develop your skills and discover your personal style. Whether you’re a beginner or a skilled artist, join us for an inspiring journey of experimentation, expression, and growth and take home something unique which will last for many years to come!
We will begin with creating your bespoke design. Then you will select the glass choosing in relation to the textures and colour palette you have in mind. We will begin cutting and grinding the shapes to fit to your ‘cartoon’ template and then once closely aligned we will begin the process of leading with came. When completed we will putty and polish the came until the piece is solid and ready to hang.
