WEEKLY TERM TIME CLASSES - AUTUMN TERM 2026

Step into a cosy, creative space each week and let your imagination lead the way. Our Autumn Term classes are perfect for anyone who loves art, enjoys working with their hands, and wants to learn the beautiful craft of glass art in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

As a local independent glass artist with years of experience, a nurturing teaching style, and a genuine passion for helping others grow - these small group sessions give you the time, guidance, and space to explore your creativity at your own pace.

Classes are held at Bellingdon Village Hall, with a choice of friendly weekly sessions to suit your routine and flexibility to attend an alternative session if you miss your usual slot:
• Tuesday mornings
• Wednesday evenings
• Thursday mornings, afternoons, and evenings

Each term runs for 10 weeks, with a one-week break for half term, giving you a well-balanced rhythm of learning and rest throughout the season.

Each week, you’ll have the chance to experiment with different techniques and materials, from cutting and shaping glass to layering, fusing, and assembling your own unique pieces. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience already, I have a flexible approach to ensure you can follow the term’s theme or work on your own ongoing projects. You’re encouraged to develop your skills in a way that feels enjoyable, natural, and personal to you.

This term the theme is 'Stained Glass Mirrors' where we will be exploring how to make and frame beautiful stained glass mirrors using either lead or copper foil techniques. We will also be looking at a range of framing materials — including lead, zinc, and brass — to help you achieve a wonderful, professional finish! Whilst the theme is designed to cover particular techniques, know there is no obligation to follow the theme. 

Everything you need is provided; all materials, tools, and refreshments are included, so you can simply turn up, settle in, and enjoy the creative flow.

These classes are more than just learning a craft, they’re an opportunity to unwind, connect, and immerse yourself in a mindful, hands-on experience. The atmosphere is friendly and informal, with plenty of encouragement, inspiration, and time to ask questions or try something new.

Join us this Autumn and discover the joy of creating something beautiful with your own hands.
