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

Description

Learn the basics of glass fusing whilst making one, or a selection of small pieces of your choice. With over 25 years experience in Glass, my classes are run in small groups with no more then three to a class. Developmental classes are available following completion of this introductory day.

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 with plenty of guidance and advice. You will have the freedom to make one or several items in a style and shape of your choice. You can select from a range of bowls, window hangings, window curves and other shapes. Your pieces will be fused and slumped ready for collection or postage after the course.

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.
