The course runs from 10-2. Please arrive about 10 minutes beforehand. The day will begin with some simple shaping and colour techniques to form various solid shapes you’ll delve into the basic techniques of working with coloured borosilicate glass. You’ll have the opportunity to create your very own glass pendants, window decorations, and solid ornaments. It’s a delightful way to express your creativity and craft unique pieces!

Students are asked to wear cotton or natural material clothing, long pants, and close toed shoes. Please bring a water bottle, and snacks to keep energy levels up!

Students will have the opportunity to apply those skills to create their very own sculptures using the techniques to shape and manipulate the glass. All glass creations are the student to keep at the end of the class. Note: glass needs to cool down slowly in the kiln overnight and will be available for pickup the following day. I can organise to post you your projects at an additional fee if required.
