The workshop in detail
Get creative and craft your own stunning stained glass window that you can proudly display on your wall at home!
During this 7-hour workshop, stained glass artist will teach you the art of stained glass crafting from start to finish.
First, you'll choose a motif slightly larger than an A4 paper and select colours from Rani's collection of reused glass. Then you'll learn how to cut the glass and join the glass pieces together with lead came, making sure the panel is securely fixed onto a wooden work board using nails.
Next, it's time to solder the lead frame and the stained glass together. Once the soldering is complete, you'll have a unique and personalised stained glass piece that reflects your artistic style and creativity. And if you want to take your piece to the next level, you can even choose to patinate it, adding a beautiful and unique finishing touch.
Throughout the workshop, complimentary water will be available to keep you refreshed and hydrated. And, during the 30-minute lunch break, you can enjoy your own packed lunch inside the canteen or outside in the stunning Blikfabriek surroundings. Many skilled artisans are at work creating a whole immersion of crafts in the building.
At the end of the workshop, you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind stained glass creation.

Meet Rani
Stained glass artist
As a child, Rani was captivated by her father's marble and glass workshop, sparking an obsession with experimentation using paint, clay, textiles, paper, glass, rope, leather and any material she could get her hands on.
What began as a childhood passion transformed into a lifelong career. Rani's formal training began in 2006 when she enrolled in the stained glass course at the Antwerp Academy. After completing her studies, she worked for a glass company restoring church windows and later for the opera and theater sector.
She's entirely self-taught in several disciplines, including pottery and welding, and now seamlessly combines these skills to create her designs.
While Rani experiments with various materials, glass remains her constant passion. She explores various techniques such as stained glass, copper foil, lighting, mirrors, fusing, and large constructions with flat glass.
Rani is environmentally conscious and strives to reuse everything she can
Her charming workshop is located at the Blikfabriek, where she is surrounded by fellow artisans.
Rani loves teaching and sharing her passion with others. She is a friendly, relaxed and helpful person who's happy to experiment with any material that catches her eye.
