How about turning your Norfolk dreams into a beautiful piece of stained glass? Join Driftwood Glass for a two day workshop to design, cut and lead your very own stained glass panel (210mm x 297mm). Designed for adults, the course at Driftwood’s Hindringham and Burnham Deepdale studios is a friendly creative space to learn something new. Open all year round, it’s a rather lovely way to spend a rainy day. Creating your own glass work is special way to make a gift too, or you can gift the workshop itself with a voucher!
Visit Norfolk’s round towered churches to get inspiration for this ancient skill. Perhaps you love by the sweeping Norfolk coastline or skeins of pink footed geese high in a stormy sky. Then there’s the burnt orange of Cromer crab shells, red sails of a wherry boat, russet bricks of Blicking Hall, golden wheat fields, fizzy yellow rapeseed flowers or mustard yellow of good old Colman’s! Reflect nature’s calm tones, soft greens and greys, recalling reeds and salt marshes or bright hollyhocks in a country garden, summer skies and jaunty beach huts, rich bronze autumn leaves or the mist of bluebells on a May morning. Or get jazzy with the colourful buildings of Elm Hill and even the bold yellow and green of the Canaries team strip!
And if you can’t make it to the class, buy your gifts online! They’re all made by hand at the studio, so no two items are exactly the same.
