Fused Glass Curves Workshop

Description

Derbyshire – Dronfield

£40 including all materials

The fused glass curves workshop will provide you with 2 – 2.5 hours of creative fun. You can come along yourself or get together with a group of friends. You could even purchase this course as a special gift for someone else. You don’t need any previous experience and it is possible to complete this session without cutting glass which makes it great for those that can’t necessarily grip tightly with their hands.

On this course you will spend your time creating either one large curve shape (approx. 300mm x 125mmm) or two smaller curves (approx. 170mm x 65mm). We will begin with a brief introduction to glass fusing, the tools and equipment & health and safety. I will demonstrate to you how to cut glass successfully using two different methods. I will also show you how you can use glass pens to draw designs onto your base glass. You can add coloured powders, frits and stringers to make your work come alive. 

You will learn about the difference between tack fused glass and fully fused glass and how choosing the right one will make all the difference to the end product(s).

You may create a traditional cottage garden type scene or go underwater with fish and seaweed. Perhaps you’d prefer to do something abstract or go for the ultimate Christmas curve!

This course is suitable for children aged 10+ years however they must also be accompanied by a participating parent/carer.

Please note you will not be able to take your products away with you on the day of the glass fusing taster session. They will need to go into the kiln for several hours. Products can be collected approximately 14 days later or they can be delivered by post at an extra cost.

Price: £40.00 including materials
