In this workshop, you can choose between two designs: a ginkgo leaf or a geometric garland.

You’ll work with glass, selected by you, a glass cutter, grinder, copper foil, solder, and a soldering iron. No prior glass experience is needed; you’ll be guided step by step through the entire process!

You’ll go home with your very own stained glass window hanger.

In the Tiffany technique, custom-cut glass pieces are edged with copper foil after grinding. You then assemble your stained-glass piece like a puzzle. The copper foil edges are soldered together, allowing for more organic and dynamic designs than traditional stained glass.

Nanouck van Iersel designs, creates, restores, and repairs stained glass artworks. Every piece is handmade using hand tools, allowing for nearly endless possibilities in colour, shape, texture, and line work.

Sustainability is a top priority, Nanouck works exclusively with reclaimed glass (except for restoration projects).

Her journey began at the Hout- en Meubileringscollege (Wood and Furniture College), where she studied interior design and discovered the emotional power of light. She later studied at the Willem de Kooning Academy. Her passion for combining light, colour, and design in a traditional craft led her to stained glass.

“It brings atmosphere to a space and stirs emotion, because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love watching sunlight dance through coloured glass?”
