Glass painting is our easiest entry point into working with glass, and it suits all ages. You paint directly onto glass — a flat panel, a mirror, a cup or a bottle — using creme relief to create raised outlines and translucent colour to fill them.
The stained glass look, without the cutting
Creme relief lets you draw raised lines that behave like the lead in a stained glass window. Fill between them with translucent glass paint and the finished piece glows when light passes through it. The effect is close to stained glass, but there is no cutting and no soldering, so it works for children and complete beginners.

Questions
Can children join this workshop?
Yes. Glass painting is suitable for all ages and is the one we recommend for families who want the stained glass look without the cutting.
What can I paint on?
Flat glass slabs, mirrors, drinking glasses and bottles. Let us know your preference when booking.
Do I take it home the same day?
Yes, in most cases. There is no kiln firing involved.
What is the difference between this and stained glass?
Glass painting decorates an existing piece of glass. Stained glass builds a new object from cut coloured glass using foil and solder. Glass painting is easier, cheaper and open to all ages.
