Have you previously attended a fused glass workshop? Would you like to improve your skills and experiments some more? If so, this class is for you.
This practical fun session is an amazing follow up to our introduction to glass fusing. We refresh some basics glass cutting steps and you will have the opportunity to learn how to cut more intricate shapes to ultimately make up to a maximum of 5 small items* or ,glass equivalents. We can adapt this session to help you select a suitable design of your choice.
We offer more 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. You may also wish to experiment with fibre paper to kiln carve glass, add metal inclusions and or mica flakes for added sparkle.
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 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 need, please inform the tutor in advance of the class.
Lunch is from for an hour at approximately 12.30 to 1.30. We can book a space at Crofton Hall Coffee Shop if required. Please let us know in advance.
Please ensure you wear closed back & toe shoes, something comfortable that will avoid flowing into your work. Thick “bottom “wear is essential e.g. 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 an allergy, please bring your own supply.
To attend this session you should have attended an introduction session at Glazed Expressions or equivalent.
Please get in touch with the studio if you would like this session as a private group session. We can also facilitate different dates if a group of 3 or more students wish to attend.
Your glass pieces will be fired using a contour program for uneven 6mm depth. If a different program for thicker pieces is required this can be discussed with the tutor and an extra charge may be applied.
