Stained And Fused Glass: Traditional And Contemporary Techniques
Students of all levels are welcome. You will receive individual advice and guidance to complete a project of your choice appropriate to your level of experience.
Traditional techniques using lead, copper foil and glass applique are taught as well as contemporary warm glass techniques - painted, fused and slumped glass.
You will be able to create a wide variety of beautiful and decorative pieces using these techniques - tiny pieces of jewellery, coasters, bowls, light catchers, lanterns, mirrors and panels for doors, windows and the garden.
Students may achieve a skill set which will enable them to gift or sell their work as well as undertake commissioned work.
Working with glass in a group situation can be relaxing and sociable but also stimulates ideas and, for many, becomes a lifelong learning opportunity and an interest with commercial potential.
