Forget the wrapping—we’re reaching for robins, sparkle, and a whole sleigh-load of festive fun! In this stained glass copper foiling workshop, you'll create your very own Christmas robin to hang proudly in your window or gift to someone special (if you can bear to part with it). No experience needed—just your merry vibes, a love of shiny things, and maybe a mince pie or two. Let’s get crafty and Christmassy!
✨** What You’ll Learn in Copper Foiling (aka Festive Foiling for Fabulous Robins):**
How to Cut Glass Without Panic
We’ll show you how to score and snap like a Christmas Cracker. No blood, we promise!
Choosing Colours That Sleigh
Pick the perfect festive tones—think holly reds, icy whites, robin browns and Christmas sparkle.
Grinding Like a Rockstar
Smooth those edges so your pieces fit together (and so you don’t accidentally deck the halls with band-aids).
Copper Tape Wrapping 101
It’s like wrapping presents... but shinier and slightly more precise.
Burnishing Like You Mean It
Rub that tape down like you’re giving your robin a festive facial. Oddly satisfying.
Soldering – Your New Superpower
Melt some metal, join the pieces, and feel mighty while doing it. (Yes, there will be hot tools!)
Optional Patina – Add a Touch of Magic
Change the colour of your solder lines for extra oomph (totally optional, totally fabulous).
Shine It Up Like Santa’s Sleigh
A final clean and polish to make your robin twinkle like a Christmas star.
How to Display Without Drama
Tips for hanging your robin with pride—on a tree, in a window, or anywhere it can spread joy.

Just bring your merry self in:
Closed-toe sturdy shoes (glass and toes don’t mix)
Long-sleeved top and clothes you don’t mind getting messy
Your creative sparkle ✨
