Glass Fusion - Garden Piece

X

Description

In this workshop you will make your own unique copper framed garden ornament with a display measuring approximately 10cm x 34cm. You will learn how to cut glass and will have access to a wide range of transparent and opaque glass. Sally will supply all tools and safety equipment necessary to make your beautiful creations. After the workshop your pieces will be taken to Sally’s studio where they will be fired in her kiln then fixed to the copper frame. They will be ready within 10 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. Suitable for all abilities. Old clothes are recommended. All materials and safety equipment are provided. Please do not wear open toed shoes.
