The schedule for the day is as follows:
Morning Session 10:30am-12:30pm: Festive Glass Mobiles: In this workshop you will design and create a hanging Christmas decoration mobile. You will construct and create a flat bauble/garland shape, a glass star, and a tree shaped decoration which you will be able to decorate in a colour scheme of your choice. You will learn some basic glass fusing and layering techniques with coloured glass. Participants will be introduced a selection of materials and tools. All participants will be make a selection of 3 hanging Christmas decorations and also a hanging bar to create your mobile.
Lunch (not provided) 12:30-1:30pm. Wightwick Manor has a cafe on site and many outdoors areas for enjoying a packed lunch in the fresh air if the weather suits.
Afternoon Session 1:30pm-3:30pm: Seasonal Lanterns – Create your own panels for a seasonal lantern, think Winter trees, Snow scenes or any festive design! In this workshop you will learn some basic glass fusing, cutting and layering techniques with coloured glass. Participants will be introduced a selection of materials, paints and tools. All participants will make and decorate glass panels to fit an Ikea lantern (provided) in colours of your choice. You will take your blank lantern home on the day and will then collect your finished panels two weeks later from Wightwick and you will be able to fit them into your lantern at home yourself.
Participants who are regular attendees of Suzie’s workshops are welcome to make different projects to save repetition if they contact Suzie in advance.
