Fused Glass Sun CatchersPart of Redlands Coast AdventureFest
Sunday 24 May • 10am–12pm
Carys Martin Ceramics Studio, Cleveland • Redlands Coast
With Kaylene from Sandy Beach Studio
Capture the colour, light, and coastal spirit of the Redlands Coast in this hands-on fused glass sun catcher workshop, led by hot glass artist Kaylene of Sandy Beach Studio.
In this relaxed and creative session, you’ll design and assemble a rectangular fused glass sun catcher, drawing inspiration from the local coastline - shifting light on water, coastal colours, native flora, and the rhythms of sea and sky.
Kaylene will guide you through the fundamentals of glass fusing, showing you how to safely cut, layer, and arrange glass to create balance, movement, and sparkle. This workshop is suitable for beginners and requires no prior glass experience.
During the workshop you will:
Create one rectangular fused glass sun catcher
Learn the basics of cutting, layering, and composing glass
Explore colour, transparency, and texture to reflect coastal light
You’ll have access to a wide range of materials, including:
Glass frit (from soft powder to bold colour pops)
Stringers for linear details and accents
Glass caviar for light-catching sparkle
Pre-cut glass pieces - perfect for beginners
Kaylene is a Russell Island–based hot glass artist with over 20 years’ experience in glass and jewellery. Her warm, encouraging teaching style creates a playful and supportive environment where creativity can flourish.
Held as part of Redlands Coast AdventureFest, this workshop offers a bright, hands-on way to experience the region through colour, light, and making.
✨ Want to make more than one?
Additional sun catchers can be made on the day for a small extra cost.
Finished pieces will be kiln-fired and ready for collection at a later date.
