Hands are holding a leadlight design, with gold and orange glass, up to the light. The sky is blue behind the design and the light is shining through the glass.
A soldering iron is being used to join some diamond shaped glass pieces together in the making of a leadlight design.
A leadlight design by Chelsea Farquhar depicts a black and white horse on a green hill like landscape. The sky is grey and the horse is wearing a bright green ruff around it's neck.

Make your own leadlight artwork with Chelsea Farquhar

• Workshop
South Australia

Learn leadlighting from South Australian contemporary artist Chelsea Farquhar in this one-off workshop. Design and make your own leadlight design using pre-cut glass shapes, copper foil and soldering, exploring colour, texture and movement of light. Afterwards, take your unique creation home and hang it in a light-filled window.

In her art practice, Chelsea uses leadlighting (as well as blacksmithing and costuming) techniques to explore themes of time and transformation, often referencing the harlequin pattern, her works are theatrical and playful.

Chelsea Farquhar is a South Australian based emerging artist who utilises sculptural and performative outcomes to highlight moments of exchange and collaboration.
