As part of Irish Design Week 2024,  join lettering artist Vanessa Power to learn the fundamentals of glass cutting and grinding, followed by the Tiffany copper foiling technique to solder their chosen letter together.

Lettering artist Vanessa Power’s love for typography and stained glass has inspired her to craft letters that showcase the timeless beauty of stained glass. After honing her skills in stained glass techniques at NCAD several years ago, Vanessa is now eager to share this craft with others through her Design Week workshop, “Letters in Light.” Taking place on Friday 15th November 2024 from 10am – 5pm.

The workshop is open to those with some to no experience of working with stained glass. In this workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of glass cutting and grinding, followed by the Tiffany copper foiling technique to solder their chosen letter together. Each piece will be finished with hanging fixtures, allowing the letters to be displayed in windows, where light can shine through, illuminating the space. These personalised creations make for perfect gifts or cherished keepsakes. There will be coffee and snacks available and lunch will be provided from 1pm – 2pm.
