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

Description

This introduction to Glass Fusing is a great day out learning how to create one or several glass pieces of your choice whilst getting you started on the basic skills required to get started with a fascinating new hobby. 2021 Courses will be kept small, starting on a one to one basis and extending to groups of two as Covid restrictions lift. "Bubble bookings" of up to three people are welcome

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 with the freedom to make one or several items in a style and shape of your choice. You can select from a range 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 the UK and New Zealand, and will offer additional private tuition days and more advanced one on one courses by arrangement.

The UK 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.

All Covid regulations will be followed during the day and the studio is thoroughly deep cleaned between courses to ensure that the working environment is safe.
