Beginners fused glass - one day workshop - a great introduction to the Art of Glass - Bognor Regis

About the Course

With only three students to a class and plenty of time for one on one tuition, join me to learn how to work with frit, stringers and cut glass to create your own work of art.

You will learn how to handle and cut glass safely and to understand how the process of fusing works. You will then have a fun afternoon making one or more pieces to your own design under my comprehensive guidance and supervision. You will have the freedom to make a small piece in a style and shape of your choice. You can select from a range of circular bowls, window hangings, window curves and other shapes to create something truly unique and of your own making. I can then fuse and slump your piece in the kiln ready for you to collect or to be posted out to you after the course.

Following completion of my introductory course, you will then be invited to join me for follow on specialist days in my studio working on different independent or group projects.

This is a great course with a very experienced tutor. Jan, has worked in Contemporary fused glass for more then 15 years and has been working with traditional stained glass for 25 years. She has mentored and taught a number of new artists their skills over the last 10 years and has recently completed working on a series of ecclesiastical commissions including a large single fused and hand painted panel created for the Holy Cross Hospital in Haslemere, Surrey. She has been teaching Fused glass for over 15 years to Adult Students in both Sussex and Hampshire, and will offer additional private tuition days and more advanced one on one courses by arrangement.

The studio is located on the West Sussex Coast, in South Bersted, near Bognor Regis, and only 7 minutes from the main Chichester Bypass. I am easily accessible by car and public transport. The studio is situated in a beautiful garden setting behind my home
