The Talbot Hound: episode 3

Strengthening, flooding and spottling

Continuing a 6-part series. None of these are teaching videos. Their purpose is instead to show you how we work.

  2. Then we watch the video together and discuss the points which jump out at us.

Episode 1 is here, episode 2 – here. As soon as you’re ready, here’s the next instalment for you:

All the best for Christmas and the New Year.

Illuminate:

It's Like 2 Days With Us In Our Studio

Illuminate will teach you the key techniques of stained-glass painting, wherever you are:

I thoroughly enjoyed going through these lessons. They helped to nudge me back onto the true path” (Phil A., Australia)

If you’re new to glass painting, or you haven’t painted in a while and want to get back up to speed, check out this 8-week online course:

I have been wishing, for quite a while, to “upgrade” from Tiffany-style stained glass pieces (very nice though),  to the more classical and immortal work of real painted glass. But I didn’t know how to start, what materials and tools to use, or how to go about it. This opportunity is at hand, now, with this very professional course, where one can learn the trade, step-by-step, with these two wonderful masters who not only know it well, but are also capable of teaching artfully” (Luis M., Portugal)

It contains extraordinary videos, even if English isn’t your first language:

C’est formidablement expliqué. J’adore” (Jacky P., France)

There’s no need to travel, there’s no need to book accommodation – it’s like spending 2 days training with us in our studio:
You have beautifully demonstrated a very complex and delicate process which ends in lovely results: wonderfully informative” (Babs T., USA)

Illuminate – you can learn more here

This is something we haven’t filmed for you before

I’m glad you want to learn more about techniques like how to undercoat and trace, and how to flood and strengthen.

And indeed we love the thought that technique (not self-expression) is paramount.

But before technique – also before good brushes – there’s something else.

So let’s talk about that right now.
