Private taster workshops
These workshops are perfect for those of you who would like to create something specific, or if you would like to book as a group of friends or family. It would make a fabulous gift for those wanting to give something a bit different.
In this work shop, you will be given the choice to make, a set of 3 tealights, a framed picture or a freestanding S-wave or curve. You will start by learning some basic information on glass fusing and I will introduce you to the different types of glass elements available. You will be using a tac fusing method, which gives a lovely textured finish, to create your piece. I will be able to show you examples of the different types of affects you can achieve with the glass provided. Armed with this information, you can draw out a design and start creating your masterpiece. I will be with you all the way, with help and advice when needed.
If you have something in particular in mind, you would like to make, then please contact me to discuss if it is possible to do, within the time and confines of the taster workshop. I will always try to accommodate your wishes, but this may result in a change in price.
After your workshop, I will fire your piece in my kiln and do any other works necessary. For example, sanding, moulding, framing etc. Your piece should be ready for you to collect approximately 1-2 weeks later, but we will discuss this on the day.
This workshop is suitable for beginners who would like to try fused glass, children (accompanied by an adult) from 10 years to adults. Group size: 1-4 people .
The session is a half day workshop (approximately 2.5-3 hours long – but this does depend on how quickly you work).
The workshop takes place in my lovely, peaceful, garden studio in the village of Drayton Parslow. Providing a great environment to be creative and mindful.
