This practical 3-hour fun session is an amazing introduction to glass fusing. You will get the opportunity to learn some basics steps and to make up to a maximum of 3 small items such as a small abstract sun catcher, a small glass curve/arc of floral, landscape or basic row of houses design and time permitting a coaster.
Teaching includes basic glass cutting skills, a simple understanding of the way fused glass behaves when fired and how to select glass colour options to make your individual designs.
We offer a colourful array of sheet glass, frits, stringers, ribbons and for small detail enamel pens for your designs on a base of colourless transparent glass, in our well-equipped studio.
We limit the group to a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 students to allow a maximum amount of time with your tutor.
Your glass items will then be fired and made ready for collection within 4 weeks of the class. A small charge will be made if postage is required.
Hot and cold refreshments with biscuits are provided throughout the class. If you have a dietary requirement, please inform the Tutor in advance.
Please ensure you wear closed back & toe shoes, something comfortable that will avoid flowing into your work. Thick “bottom”wear is essential eg jeans. You will be working with sharp glass and there is the danger of small cuts. If you wear glasses for reading, please bring them along. Eye protection must be worn throughout the classroom. Plasters are provided, if you have any allergy please bring your own.
Private group sessions can be arranged for 3 or more students if needed. Please get in touch with the studio to arrange a date.
Students must be 16 years old or older. Please see Terms and Conditions.
Finally prepare to become addicted to glass fusing!
