Beginner friendly
In this one-day workshop, Angela Steel will introduce you to the art of copper foiled glass, also known as the Tiffany-style, where you’ll create a simple piece like a flower or feather shown in the photos. Or you can choose another simple design – perhaps a red chilli pepper or avocado! Angela can guide you on what is possible in the session.
This is a fun, hands-on introduction to this method – no experience needed. Learn the basics of glass cutting, applying copper foil and soldering while creating your own unique piece to take home.
All materials and tools are provided. Come and learn new skills, get creative, and have fun in a relaxed setting.
This is also a great workshop for team building and private parties – if you’d like to book for a private event, contact Rhona at rhonaduffy@mosaicandglass.com

About your tutor
Scottish stained glass artist Angela Steel initially trained as a painter at Edinburgh College of Art (BA Hons). It was there that she first discovered the luminous possibilities of glass – a medium that would later become central to her artistic practice. Angela returned to glass in 2001, and has since built a diverse body of work that spans contemporary stained glass for public and private commissions, as well as restoration and conservation projects.
In 2022, Angela deepened her expertise through postgraduate study in a Masters of Stained Glass Conservation & Heritage Management at the University of York, combining hands-on craftsmanship with historical and technical research. That same year, her work was selected for exhibition at the British Glass Biennale.
Angela has presented solo shows of autonomous glass panels at the Compass Gallery and The Arches in Glasgow, and taken part in numerous group exhibitions. Her stained glass panels – designed to be displayed like illuminated paintings – reflect a dialogue between light, colour and storytelling, which bridges fine art and traditional craft. Some of Angela’s works are pictured below.
