One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

Fresh out of the kiln! :)

Three decorative wall hangings on the kiln shelf ready to be fired in the kiln!

A wonderful piece created on our One Day Fused Glass Course :)

A piece nearly completed, just a few more tweaks before it goes onto the kiln shelf to be fired.

Description

As with stained glass, fused glass is colourful and accessible. It’s popularity as an affordable hobby has led to extensive development by the raw materials manufacturers and now the range of colours, textures, accessories and fusing equipment is almost endless….. and getting better all the time. Fusing glass is a much less regimented process than stained glass and in many ways is much like collage, offering plenty of scope for expression. It’s versatile as well – I’ve been making fused dichroic glass jewellery, wall-art and kiln-formed glass for years and it always seems popular with visitors to the workshop. This course is a great place to start – offering the opportunity to learn how to make a fused glass piece of wall art – something sea-sidey is proving popular. You will begin by learning how to accurately cut glass, then when you feel confident, you can then choose your project design. There will be a range of colours to choose from that will suit your project and I will be on hand at every stage to guide you through the process – all the while talking about the various practical aspects of fusing. As an alternative option, this day course can be focused on producing smaller pieces of fused glass to create jewellery or mosaic components using both the kiln and/or a mini kiln and microwave oven. If any of the dates below are not suitable for you, we can often arrange dates outside of the normal schedule. Get in touch to enquire via pressing the 'message the tutor' button.

"Extremely enjoyable day. Paul was friendly, informative and attentive, demonstrating each stage of the process as well as talking about the materials and tools involved. I felt as though I learned a lot. The pace of the day was relaxed, which allowed us to complete our pieces without hurrying. I look forward to completing another course with Paul later in the year."

Janet Schofield reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

" What a wonderful day and fabulous host! Paul was extremely informative, attentive and helpful and made the day really interesting, as well as fun, for all 4 of his enthusiastic, novice students for the day. We all felt, under Paul's expert tuition, that we had achieved something rather special. So, thank you Paul - it was well worth that 2 hour journey to reach you."

North Norfolk Stained Glass responded:

" …… and thank you Janet for travelling all this way to do the class! Thank you also for your kind review, I really enjoyed your company and we all had a good giggle :) I have fired your projects and they have turned out perfectly- I will send them on to you early next week. Thank you again, Best wishes Paul"

Gill Embling reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"What a fantastic day I had yesterday with Paul, my friend Deb and the two girls from Cambs. The course was so informative and interesting and Paul was a very patient, kind and easy going tutor with a good sense of humour. And of course we all produced a lovely piece of fused glass at the end of the day. I would definitely recommend this course and am sure I will do another one with Paul at some point in the future. The soup was pretty good as well! Thanks Paul. "

North Norfolk Stained Glass responded:

" Hello Gill, many thanks to you and Deb for coming on the class and your kind review. I have fired your pieces and they have turned out splendidly! See you soon Paul :•)"

Nicky Morley reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"I was very fortunate that Paul was able to tailor the course to my needs as I have some experience and wanted to look at techniques to further my skills. Paul is a good teacher for people like myself with some previous experience as well as complete beginners. I have booked a further course with him already. It was a really enjoyable and informative day"

Jon reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"The course was really very good. The tutor, Paul, is clearly extremely experienced and was a terrific teacher (which is probably even more important than knowledge and skill). Health and safety issues were prioritised at the outset, and the group (of four people) were able to work safely throughout. Paul gave lots of encouragement and support, and helped out whenever anyone was faced with a problem. We would 100% recommend this course. At the beginning of the day we had never done any work with glass before, and by the end we had each produced a piece that we were very happy with. The day was also enjoyable and the group had fun working together. We are already planning to book a further course with Paul."

North Norfolk Stained Glass responded:

" Dear John and Honia, just to say many thanks for coming on the class, I really enjoyed your company and your review is most kind. Your projects are fired and have turned out beautifully and I will be sending them on to you today. Hope to see you again sometime in the future:) Best wishes Paul "

"I really enjoyed my fused glass experience with Paul. His teaching was very clear and he was very encouraging and helpful throughout the whole of the making process. Four of us attended the session and although we all started with the same basic design template we each created something unique and individual. A really absorbing and interesting day with a beautiful end product to take away and treasure."
