Description

Suitable for all abilities, we will begin with a brief description of what glass fusing is, the types of glass in the studio, the tools you will be using and design options available to you. After the demonstration of how to safely cut the glass, you will start to make your own sun catcher from the large selection of coloured glass, stringers, confetti, frit and millefiore. You will create a sun catcher for the home or garden. Once you've finished your work, it'll be fired in a kiln for you. Your teacher Teresa will let you know when your item is ready to collect, or you can arrange to have your piece posted to you at additional cost

Cosmin Dragu reviewed: Fused Glass Suncatcher

"It was a lovely morning session learing about glass and how to create beautifull pieces of art. Teresa was very helpful in aiding me to find my inspiration and showed me a lot of examples as well as answered my questions well. It was especially nice when I wanted to make a pattern that was new to both of us; there Teresa used her knowledge to guide me and offered me the tools to try and create what I had in mind. Overall the experience was a very good creative outlet."

Dawn A reviewed: Fused Glass Suncatcher

"Had a lovely afternoon making several fused glass items. Teresa was a very friendly tutor who was willing to help and give advice, but also gave you space to ‘do your own thing’ The 3 hours went by in a flash as it was so absorbing and relaxing. Would definitely recommend"

Lappelli Craft Studio responded:

" Thank you Dawn, it was a pleasure to help you start your glassy adventures."

Abigail Ball reviewed: Fused Glass Suncatcher

"Had a lovely time on the fused glass course. Teresa is very knowledgeable and helpful and gives you lots of advice which is great. Really enjoyed making a range of suncatchers and still have the excitement of seeing the finished product once they have been fired. Would thoroughly recommend this workshop for beginners and more experienced glass workers looking to try something different."
