The course is designed for art instructors, art therapists, art teachers (and also amateurs) who want to learn how to make Tiffany stained glass windows and later on teach their learners this fantastic technique. You can teach how to make stained glass windows basically to everyone - adults, young students, people who are disabled, socially excluded and basically anyone that you can think of. You can also learn to do it just to practice it on your own after you have finished out training activity and pass this knowledge on to your learners. This is a course that no one has designed and offered before within Erasmus+ network. It is a typical hands-on practical course with as little theory as possible and as much practical input as possible. The emphasis is put on your involvement and physical engagement in it. You will be taught by experienced practitioners who not only have made thousands of stainedglass windows in their professional lives but also have passed on their knowledge to hundreds of people and art is their passion.
The course is tailored mainly for art educators (but availability is not limited only to this particular group) working with adults in the field of artistic and cultural education, especially with adults from disfavored groups, i.e. the disabled, the imprisoned, the long term unemployed, the ones who are at risk of social exclusion.

Aims and objectives
There are two main goals of the course: first one is to prepare / teach art educators how to work with the technique of making stained-glass windows, and the other is to make them master the basic treatment techniques and various possibilities of embellishment and usage of stained glass to make your own projects in the Tiffany technique. Skills gained during the course will give the participant strong foundations to start working with glass and will give participants further possibilities to develop themselves within this field. Participants will learn new methodology, gain theoretical skills how to make stained glass windows, they will get to know the tools that are needed to use during the process and last but not least – participants will make their own stained-glass window.
Expected (learning) outcomes
how to teach your adult learners the Tiffany technique; how to increase your learners’ artistic creativity; what Tiffany technique is; what basic rules when working with stained glass, copper foil and solder are; how to score/cut glass, break glass and grind it; how to use: a glass cutter, Grozer pliers, a grinder and other tools needed during glass treatment; techniques of putting patina and finishing off your piece of art.
