Workshop outline:
• Warm welcome and introduction: Henri welcomes you to his workshop located in the heart of an artisan area, within a mall housing several craftspeople. He will introduce you to the fundamental principles of the Tiffany method.
• Choosing your design and colors: Select a design from the collection offered, then discover stained glass tools and the different types of glass. Choose your colors by learning how to harmonize shades to achieve a balanced composition.
• Glass cutting and grinding: cut your glass pieces, then grind them to refine their shape and ensure precise assembly. Henri guides you through each step to familiarize you with the material.
• Copper setting: surround each piece with a strip of adhesive copper, an emblematic step of the Tiffany technique, which prepares the final assembly.
• Soldering and finishing: assemble all the pieces with tin, using the soldering iron, in order to solidify your creation and give it its final aesthetic.
At the end of the workshop, leave with your beautiful 10 x 10 cm artwork, composed of 3 to 5 pieces of glass, ready to illuminate your interior.
