Glass Fusion - Candle Holder workshop
Description
In this four hour glass art workshop, Sally will guide you through making a homemade glass candle holder. You will have access to a wide choice of colours to design your candle holder and will learn how to cut glass to make the pieces fit together perfectly. After the workshop, your pieces will be transported to Sally’s studio where they will be fired twice in her kiln. They will be ready within 14 days of the workshop and can be collected from Stanwick Lakes or posted out to you for the cost of the postage. About the Tutor Sally has always loved glass, particularly the reflections you get from the sun shining through garden art and after attending a couple of basic glass fusing courses she bought her first kiln in 2019. She has since honed her teaching skills and developed a passion for teaching. There are so many things to make, different techniques to learn, firing schedules to understand - the possibilities for experimentation are endless. Sally’s workshops are always relaxed and fun and she encourages everyone to come up with their own designs. She particularly enjoys working with people who say they are not artistic or creative, because they always surprise themselves by creating something beautiful. This glass fusion workshop is suitable for all abilities. Old clothes are recommended. Please do not wear open toed shoes.
