Our training facilities
Spraying training workshop
In our development and training spray shop you can actually try to prepare the paint, set up the spray gun and actually spray the product.
Classroom
The theoretical part of our seminars is usually given in our classroom. Of course, we can also come to your place by arrangement. But we have a lot of real samples that we simply can't take with us.
Manual training workshop
Here you can make your own sandblasting template during the sandblasting courses. We also teach real glass bonding here in our gluing courses. And in the Regalead - Glued Stained Glass courses, you can apply self-adhesive foils, lead tapes and decorative glass slides.
Sandblasting training workshop
This is where you actually sandblast your templates that you made yourself on the course. You will also compare the difference between a pressure and an injector sandblaster. We also have different abrasives in the boxes, so you can immediately compare the differences of the surfaces sandblasted in this way.
