About the course
Join our Fused Glass Easter Workshop and explore the fascinating world of glass fusing. Glass fusing is an immediate and popular technique for melting glass. Learn the basics of glass fusing to make either a decorative bowl or platter and four coasters. You will have time to plan and make your project, as well as experiment with different fusing techniques using frits, stringers, inclusions, oxides and high firing enamels. You will learn about glass compatibility and different firing cycles for fusing and slumping glass into moulds. A fun, easy technique suitable for beginners and anyone who wants to further develop their creative skills in glass.
How is the course delivered and assessed?
In this workshop, you will receive expert guidance and support from our experienced tutor. You will have dedicated time to plan and create your projects, allowing for hands-on practice and experimentation with various fusing techniques and materials.
The workshop provides a supportive and enriching environment for both beginners and those with prior experience in stained or fused glass. Learn through practical demonstrations and personalised instruction, developing your skills and understanding of glass fusing.
