This course in fused glass covers the basic concept of working with a range of glass products. You will be given individual support and guidance to design and make your own bespoke glass work suitable for coasters or hanging as light catchers.
All the necessary specialist materials and equipment will be provided, but should you require additional glass, this will incur a further charge.
Once complete, your glass will need to be kiln fired, so it will be ready for collection 7 - 10 days after the event, depending on the type of work being produced. (Each firing will take around 9 hours and a day to cool before the kiln can be opened).
You will be notified when your glass is ready to collect.
