Price for a single print piece is £35 and for a double £45. Choose black, blue, teal, white or cinamon coloured frames.

Stained Glass Courses

In October 2006, June opened her light and friendly teaching studio in Kingsteignton. Beginners and improvers are welcome and numbers are limited to six.

The workshops offer the chance to learn in small, friendly groups in a light purpose-built studio.

Topics taught include copper foil, traditional lead came, etching and 3D stained glass. Thursday sessions are all open studio workshops. Saturday workshops are all open studio but some also have an optional focus for learning. (See details below... Cash or cheque payable to J Carnell.)

Tools for your own use are provided but please feel free to use your own if you have them.
