Glass Fusion - Lantern Making Workshop
Description
In this workshop you will make four glass panels to go in a lantern. You will have access to a wide choice of coloured transparent glass and pre-fused cabochons which you can use to design your own piece of art. The workshop is suitable for all abilities and Sally will help you design your lantern and teach you to cut glass and give you all the help you need to make your beautiful piece of glass art. After the workshop your creations will be taken 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. Suitable for all abilities. Old clothes are recommended. Please do not wear open toed shoes. About the Tutor After a 36 year career in Local Government Sally thought it was time to try something new. She loves to be creative and wanted to do something that would combine her creativity with her geeky technical side. 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. There are so many things to make, different techniques to learn, firing schedules to understand - the possibilities for experimentation are endless. Sally loves teaching workshops, they 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.
