Learn the essential techniques of cutting, layering, and fusing glass to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. Guided by Una Galbraith, you’ll explore the properties of glass, experiment with colour and texture, learn how to cut glass, and design your own small projects, such as jewellery, drink stirrers, bookmarks, hanging decorations, tiles, or magnets. You might even like to create your own inclusions for mosaic projects if you already create mosaic art. We’ll be in touch with you before the day to see if you have ideas for what you might like to create or if you’d prefer to do one of the projects Una suggests.
With all materials and tools provided, this workshop offers a relaxed and creative environment to ignite your artistic side. Perfect for anyone curious about glass art, this introduction promises a fun and inspiring experience! It’s a relaxed atmosphere where, not only will you develop your glass fusing skills, but you’ll also have an enjoyable day out.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners but more experienced fusers are welcome too.
Your pieces will need to be fired in the kiln and you can collect them a few days later, or we can post them out to you.
This is also a great workshop for team building and private parties – if you’d like to book for a private event, contact Rhona at rhonaduffy@mosaicandglass.com
Important notes:
Course includes tuition, use of tools, materials, and tea/coffee/snacks.
Please bring your own lunch and utensils – or you can buy lunch at a nearby shop/snack bar.
