Workshop description:
During this two hour workshop you will learn the basics of glass fusing, which will enable you to go on and make two decorative glass items, either coasters or beautiful sun catchers for yourself or as a gift.
Topics covered:
- Learn the process of glass fusing – from design to firing
- How to cut different varieties of glass to a pattern
- How to work with coloured sheet glass, frits and powders.

You will practice first on plain glass then get to choose from a wide range of coloured glass for your pieces.
This class is suitable for beginners, 14+ only.
All materials and tools are provided.
After the class all items will be taken away and fired in my kiln and will be ready for collection or postage for an extra small fee, usually within 1 week.
