Learn about the art of making fused glass in a workshop.
Throughout the workshops you will learn about glass fusing techniques including cutting, layering, use of frit & stringers and dichroic glass effects before then creating several pieces of glass from your own designs. You will have the opportunity to make a wall hanging/sun catcher, coaster and glass jewellery or a glass dish on a full day workshop. All pieces will be fired in the kiln following the course and finishing touches can be added at home with the jewellery pack provided in the workshop. Maximum of 4 students per workshop to provide individual tuition and support.
Workshops take place in East Hanningfield, Chelmsford, Essex.
