3 Week Glass Fusing Taster and Intermediate course

Beginners 3 week, Sunday afternoon, fused glass making taster course

Both suitable for beginners and also those who already have a little experience of using glass before and want to explore different techniques.

After a brief introduction to the language of glass you’ll practice scoring, cutting and layering. You will use sheet glass and explore a range of techniques using brightly coloured strings and ribbons and adding texture and depth with frit. Direction will be given in detail to allow you to follow your own designs and once you’ve created you’re unique pieces they will be fired in a kiln.

Once the basic techniques are established, you will create unique pieces e.g. items of jewellery, candleholders, coasters, soap or small trinket dishes, decorations suspended from beautifully delicate organza ribbons, sun catches, glass curves etc.

You will have your own pack of tools & materials along with access to additional supplies of glass etc. You will be provided with an apron and safety goggles/ masks.

This workshop session is not suitable for under 14s.

Your items will be fired after the workshop and ready for collection within seven days. Items can also be posted for a cost of £7.50.
