Glass Art Holidays in the Heart of the Costa Blanca

Stained Glass Art Holiday in the Heart of the Costa Blanca

19th–26th October 2025 | Oliva, Spain

Join us this autumn for a week of creativity, sunshine and inspiration on the beautiful Spanish coast. Set in the charming town of Oliva, nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean, this unique glass art holiday combines expert tuition, comfortable accommodation and the relaxed pace of Spanish life.

Stay at the Oliva Courtyard Guesthouse

Your home for the week is the welcoming Oliva Courtyard Guesthouse, a beautifully renovated traditional Spanish house with a peaceful courtyard, modern comforts and plenty of character. Sean and Tony will offer you a warm welcome!
Each guestroom features its own en-suite, and guests also have access to two fully equipped kitchens. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or a relaxed evening glass of wine, the atmosphere is warm and informal – ideal for creative retreat.

Explore the Art of Glass Work with Creative Glass Getaways

Our courses are led by Lesley and Matthew of Creative Glass Getaways, specialists in glass craft . Over six mornings - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday – you’ll learn traditional techniques including leaded stained glass, Tiffany stained glass, and Glass-on-Glass Mosaics. Whether you're a complete beginner or already have experience, you'll be guided through three rewarding projects to take home with you.

Classes run from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm, giving you your afternoons free to explore, relax or continue working at your own pace. All materials are provided, and the setting is relaxed, friendly and inclusive.

Traditional Leaded Stained Glass

Fancy trying your hand at something truly timeless? Join us for a leaded stained glass workshop and discover the magic of this beautiful, traditional craft.

Leaded stained glass has been around for centuries, adding colour and character to everything from grand cathedrals to cosy cottages. It’s a craft steeped in history, combining precision with creativity, and there’s nothing quite like seeing sunlight pour through something you’ve made with your own hands.

Over the course of the workshop, you’ll get hands-on with all the key techniques – from cutting and shaping glass to leading, spot soldering, cementing, and polishing. Step by step, you’ll bring your own stunning glass panel to life – something you’ll be proud to hang in your window at home.

Whether you’re looking to pick up a new skill, indulge your creative side, or simply spend a satisfying day doing something a bit different, this workshop is a perfect place to start.

Come and give it a go – we’d love to see you there!

Copper Foil (Tiffany) Stained Glass

If you loved the sound of our leaded stained glass course, you might be excited to explore another beautiful branch of the craft: copper foil work – also known as Tiffany glass. This technique opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities.

Copper foil technique was made famous in the late 19th century by Louis Comfort Tiffany (yes – that Tiffany), who used it to create his iconic stained glass lamps. Unlike the chunkier leaded method, copper foil made it possible to craft more intricate designs , 3 dimensional objects and curved forms – bringing a delicate, jewel-like quality to the work. It revolutionised decorative glass and remains a favourite among modern makers for its versatility and precision.

During the course, you’ll learn all the essential skills: how to cut and shape your glass, wrap it in copper foil, “tin” the foil with solder, and run a neat solder seam to hold everything securely in place. It’s a hands-on, satisfying process – and at the end of the day, you’ll head home with a beautiful handmade piece that you’ll want to show off to everyone!

We’ll provide everything you need – just bring your creativity and a willingness to have a go!

Glass - on - Glass Mosaics

If you're drawn to colour, pattern, and a touch of sparkle, you’ll absolutely love our glass-on-glass mosaics workshop – a wonderfully creative and (fair warning!) highly addictive craft. It’s a chance to lose yourself in a world of shimmering colour, making something truly unique and beautiful from start to finish.

From bowls and picture frames to window hangings and candle holders, the possibilities with this technique are nearly endless. Unlike traditional , chunkier tile mosaics glass-on-glass mosaics are more delicate, allowing light to shine through and bringing your design to life in a luminous, almost stained-glass-like way..

We have patterns you’re welcome to use, and we’re always happy to help you design something from scratch – but most people find themselves swept away choosing colours, creating shapes, and letting their imagination guide them

Come along and give it a go – it’s a relaxing, fun, satisfying day and we’d love to help you get started on your mosaic journey!

Sunday

We begin the week on Sunday evening with a warm welcome — drinks and tapas in the hotel’s beautiful courtyard, the perfect setting to get to know your fellow guests and anticipate the days ahead.

Tuesday

On Tuesday afternoon, we’ll take a trip to the coastal town of Denia for a leisurely lunch. Then join us on a visit to the 11th C. Moorish Castle, or, if you prefer, stroll down the shady tree lined shopping street, admire the yachts in the marina or explore the charming old town.

Thursday

Thursday evening brings another highlight, as we gather for a meal at a traditional Spanish restaurant in Oliva. Expect a warm, local atmosphere and regional flavours, shared in good company.

Monday

Our glass craft classes will run each morning from Monday to Saturday, from 9:30am to 1:00pm.
This afternoon and evening are free leaving you with plenty of time to unwind and explore your surroundings.

Wednesday

After the morning class, the rest of the day is completely free. It’s an ideal chance to take things at your own pace — perhaps with a long lunch by the sea, a walk along the beach, or time to explore Oliva’s old town and nearby markets.

Friday

Friday afternoon and evening are yours to enjoy at leisure — a final opportunity to soak up the atmosphere of Oliva and its surroundings. Revisit a favourite spot, shop for souvenirs, or simply linger over a drink with a good book in the relaxing courtard.

Saturday

On Saturday afternoon, we’ll travel inland to the Jalón Valley, an area known for its rolling vineyards, almond groves, and scenic mountain villages. We'll begin with a farewell lunch in the village of Parcent, a peaceful and pretty spot with a strong winemaking tradition. After lunch, there will be time to explore the surrounding valley — stopping in other small villages such as Jalón and Lliber, where you can enjoy the gentle pace of life, beautiful views, and perhaps a glass of local wine.
