Challenge yourself with this advanced leadlight course designed for experienced students who are ready to more intricate and technically demanding leadlight panels. Building on intermediate skills, this course focuses on complex design work, structural integrity, precision craftsmanship and professional finishing techniques.
You will undertake the following:
Advanced pattern design and project planning
Complex glass cutting and shaping techniques
Decorative borders and feature elements
Glass selection, texture and colour composition
Lead profile selection and structural design
Reinforcement techniques for larger panels
Professional soldering and finishing methods
Patination, polishing and presentation
Prerequisites
You should have completed an intermediate leadlight course or possess equivalent experience in glass cutting, panel assembly, soldering and finishing.
Course Outcome
You will complete a substantial advanced leadlight panel while developing the technical proficiency, design confidence and craftsmanship required for complex decorative and architectural leadlight projects.
Course Outline:
Week 1: Develop a complex leadlight design and prepare a detailed working pattern with careful attention to structure, balance, and glass selection.
Week 2: Execute precise glass cutting and begin assembling the panel using advanced leading techniques and accurate fitting of complex shapes.
Week 3: Complete panel construction with reinforcement methods and apply professional soldering techniques to achieve strength and refinement.
Week 4: Finalise the leadlight panel with cementing, patination, polishing, and presentation-ready finishing suitable for display or installation.
