Join Rani, a passionate artisan who will be delighted to welcome you to her workshop.
After getting to know each other, she will take you on a tour of the premises and introduce you to the theoretical underpinnings of her craft. You will learn about the specifics of the Tiffany technique, named after its inventor, which uses copper wires to connect the various pieces that make up a stained glass window.
Then it's up to you! Guided by Rani, you will be taken step-by-step through the various stages of creating your stained glass.Ā
Starting from an existing pattern, you will first choose your colors and Rani will teach you how to cut glass. You will then grind the glass, glue the copper foil and once you are satisfied with your composition, solder the different parts together. You can darken the lead with patina.Ā
You will also have the opportunity to bring your own design to the workshop, and will be able to discuss it directly with the artisan and make any necessary adjustments.
At the end of the workshop, you will leave with your own magnificent creation, 100% personalised to your taste, that will enhance your home!

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.Ā
She's entirely self-taught in several disciplines, including pottery and welding, and now seamlessly combines these skills to create her designs.Ā
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.Ā
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.Ā

Glas-in-lood of Tiffany, na deze avond ben je vertrokken! Glas snijden, breken, slijpen, solderen en patineren... Rani gidst je vakkundig door alle stappen zodat je naar huis gaat met een uniek werkstuk. Geweldige aanrader voor creatieve geesten die ook eens met wat scherpere randjes aan de slag willen.
