By the end of the weekend you will be able to plan and create a piece of stained glass taking into consideration
• Complexity of design
• Appropriate types and colours of glass
• How to work safely
• Using the appropriate tools
• How to best clean and finish your work

All specialist equipment required to complete the course (such as safety tiles, safety gloves, cooling racks, fans, kiln paper and other specialist equipment as required) will be supplied by the Tutor.

Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.
