About Stained Glass Creations with Christopher Samuel

Join us at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery for a free, family-friendly drop-in workshop led by artist Christopher Samuels. In this hands-on, creative stained-glass inspired session, participants of all ages can explore colour, light, and pattern while learning the basics of stained-glass design. Participants will learn how to make beautiful faux stained glass using paper and acetate! Inspired by the museum’s exhibition Watch Us Lead , families will have the chance to experiment with materials and create their own vibrant artworks to take home.

No experience is needed, just drop in and get creative together.

All materials are provided.

Christopher Samuel

Christopher Samuel is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice is rooted in identity and disability politics.
Often echoing the many facets of his own lived experience as a Black disabled man, his work tells stories, highlighting the often unseen experiences of his day to day life and those of others in similar circumstances.
His practice includes small detailed ink drawings, film, print, audio, research, and large installations.

Samuel works alongside galleries, museums, archives and other institutions to address missing representation in our cultural spaces.
