What's On

St Patrick’s Stained Glass Workshop
St. Patrick's Catholic Cathedral, Armagh - Synod Hall

Saturday 15th March | £40 (plus £1 booking fee) – ticket includes light lunch


Stained glass is a well recognised traditional craft often viewed within the windows of sacred and historical buildings with spellbinding designs that use bright colours and bold details. Join expert glass artist, Kerrie Hanna, as you learn how to create beautiful designs for glass as well as paint mixing and paint techniques to complete the linework for multiple pieces on coloured glass. 

Kerrie will also demonstrate the tools and skills required for glass cutting and how to work safely with glass. Each participant will paint two final pieces within the workshop utilising the inspiration of the stained glass windows in St Patrick’s Cathedral; these will then be brought back to the artist’s studios to undergo the firing process for collection from the venue 1-2 weeks after the event.

Kerrie Hanna is a visual artist based in Vault Artist Studios, Belfast. Her distinctive figurative style creations encompass illustration, stained glass and street art. Her practice is often socially engaged and she was most recently awarded The MAC Artist In Residence and Malone College Artist in Residence – both in 2023. 

All tools and material will be provided. You may wish to bring your own safety glasses. It is advisable to wearable suitable clothing and flat shoes. A light lunch will be included. PLEASE NOTE: Completed glass creations can only be collected from the venue.

Lunch provided from 1.00pm to 1.30pm. This event is suitable for those aged 16+.
