Mastercrafts

Under Monty Don's watchful eye, three hopefuls who are passionate about learning the craft of stained glass are put through their paces by Sophie Hussein, who has been working in the field of stained glass for nearly twenty years. It takes four to five years to train properly as a stained glass craftsman. During their six-week course, the trainees learn the foundations of the craft - from how to cut glass incredibly accurately, to leading up and glazing a window.
