Yesterday we held a Stained Glass workshop as part of our monthly programme and local lady Nikki Coombs came to show us how it was done.
Glass was selected form a range of suitable colours from which to create Dragonflies. It was then cut - a scary moment!, ground and welded by each of the group.
The level of concentration and lack of chatter had never been seen before!
Using the grinder to smooth the edges
Smoothing down the solder strips.
Seeing it all come together with the soldering iron.
Another one laid out and ready for soldering
Ta dah! Olive was the first to finish her Dragonfly.
And slowly they all started to emerge
Until we had a tree full of them.
How lovely do they look?
