GLASS FUSING WORKSHOPS

One day workshops for beginners or those wishing for an experience.

This workshop is designed to give an introduction to some of the delights of working with glass.  Glass fusing is a process where glass and decorative elements are fused together at high temperatures in a specialised kiln.  During the day you will learn how to handle and cut glass safely and how to design and assemble some simple fused glass pieces ready for firing. we will be looking at how glass behaves at different temperatures and making things that use the the three main aspects of fusing; melting glass pieces to form a single piece of glass, creating texture in a glass piece and making the piece 3D by forming it over a shape.

Examples of items that you can create are a square coaster, a light catcher, some jewelry or a small dish/bowl/tealight holder.  However, if you have an idea of what you would like to make we can discuss this prior to the day and determine how we can accommodate your wishes.
