Explore the fascinating art of fused glass. Experiment with a range of materials and processes to craft exquisite pieces of your own. Projects are kiln fired to form light catchers, coasters, dishes and jewellery.
Also know as kiln-formed glass or warm glass, amazing effects can be achieved using temperatures of around 800 degrees C. Learn how to cut, shape and assemble materials, layering samples and combining with other elements. Your creations will be kiln fired after the workshop for collection/postage approximately 2 weeks later.
Open to both beginners and those with experience.
