Description
We will start with a pre-cut disc of copper; I'll have a range of sizes available, although if you would like to cut your own or another shape we can no problem, but experience tells me most people want to get straight to the kiln! Your pendant will be made by sifting and firing layers of powdered glass. You can build up layers of colour with stencils, painting, stamping and scratching to put your design on and make it truly yours, two pieces will never be the same! Each layer is fired in the kiln at 850 degrees celsius! Before cooling and the next layer being applied, you will have the chance to make at least 2 pieces, so we're not just watching the glass cool! I will also have a choice of cords and stringing material that you can attach to the piece and wear it home if you want. This workshop will have a maximum of three students and should take about 3 hours, but this is an approximate time, we will probably run over. The price includes all the materials and tools you need, and a cuppa and some nibbles. Workshops start at 11am, unless you are booking your own date, and then you can choose the time. My studio is in Trecenydd Caerphilly, walkable from Caerphilly town/castle, just a short walk from Aber train station if you’re travelling by public transport. On street parking is available, you rarely have to go further then around the corner. Full details will be emailed when you book.
