Classes at Rainbow Glass Studios in London
We run an exciting range of craft classes providing you opportunities to explore a breadth of artistic techniques in glass making and enamelling on copper and silver. This includes fused glass, painting on glass in the traditional way, copper foiling, stained glass, enamelled jewellery and enamelled copper bowls – there is so much for you to learn!
If you are interested in our courses and would like to know more about us, please get in touch via the contact page.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Stained and Contemporary Glass Studio in Stoke Newington, London N16. Established for over 25 years, Rainbow Glass Studios is led by Richard Paton with over 30 years experience of working in specialist glass techniques, some of which we deliver as weekend courses including stained glass, traditional painting on glass, and copper foiling. Eleanor teaches the fused glass, enamelling on copper and enamelled bowl courses too.
We can accommodate up to eight people working within the studio at once, but often limit our courses to fewer in number to allow for more 1:1 attention when learning.
As a working glass studio, Richard also offers a wide range of specialist glass techniques employing his skills in commissioned works including sand-blasting, etching, engraving, screen printing, gilding and stained / painted glass and fused glass in both traditional or more contemporary styles. https://www.rainbowglassstudios.co.uk
He frequently works with established artists and designers and is an accomplished artist and sculptor himself. Click on this link to see more of his own intriguing kinetic sculptures and art: www.richardpaton.com
Eleanor is an experienced tutor in fused glass and enamelling and enjoys teaching both beginners and those with more experience wanting to “find their own creative voice” and to personalise their style of making. She also takes commissions in fused glass and enamel and assists Richard in the studio when he needs another pair of hands.
Eleanor has taught at Rainbow Glass Studios in Stoke Newington for over 15 years. She is a narrative jeweller and has won awards for her jewellery and enamelled bowls. Her aim when teaching is to give students new found confidence in their creative abilities and to assist them to grow their individual design skills as they learn with her.
She is a member of the Guild of Enamellers, a UK based charitable organisation dedicated to the promotion of enamelling skills. https://guildofenamellers.org and also of the British Society of Enamellers: https://www.enamellers.org
