Coffee, Cake, 'n' Craft - Copper Foil Moravian Star in New Romney, Kent

Description

With its luminous glass panels and beautifully balanced geometric form, the copper Moravian star is a striking piece that feels both architectural and timeless. This carefully curated workshop invites you to experience the craft behind this iconic design, offering a relaxed yet absorbing introduction to traditional Tiffany-style copper foil techniques. Under gentle guidance, you will work with glass throughout the process, learning how to foil and solder prepared pieces before assembling them into the star’s distinctive three-dimensional shape. As the structure takes form, you will see how light moves through the glass, creating depth, warmth and subtle drama. A thoughtfully selected range of clear, textured and coloured glass allows you to personalise your star, whether your preference leans towards soft, understated tones or rich, jewel-like hues. Designed to be welcoming for complete beginners while remaining deeply satisfying for those with some experience, the workshop is hosted in an intimate group setting where the pace feels calm and unhurried. There is time to enjoy each stage of the process, build confidence and fully immerse yourself in the pleasure of making. As part of our Coffee, Cake, ’n’ Craft series, the session offers a harmonious balance of creativity, learning and relaxed sociability.
