Join Zoe or Jackie for our skill builder workshop in fused glass, where the finished product is a beautiful paperweight/ decorative sculpture.

This workshop is open to all abilities, if you've never done fused glass before, its a great way to get an idea of the techniques involved, if youre intermediate/advanced, its an opportunity for you to develop your skills and push them further by working to smaller detailed sizes.

The practical lesson runs 11-1pm

In this workshop you will be shown the following skills:
-enamel painting
-Powder application
-stringer heat work
-wire sculpting
-how to cut and break glass (the piece is made up of 6 10x5cm pieces of clear glass)
-how to create a mould kiln paper template

We will fire your piece slowly over a 48 hour period, remove from the kiln, coldwork the edges, and email you once they've been photographed and are ready for you to collect.
