About this Event
This relaxed 3-hour evening class will give you a great introduction to fused glass and will be a lovely way to chill out and have some creative time (with some mulled wine and nibbles). Bring a friend or two and make a fun, social evening of it!
Guided by professional glass artist and tutor, Annette Daly, you will learn how to cut glass first and then you will have a chance to design, cut and make your own selection of fused glass Christmas decorations or a larger piece using top quality Bullseye sheet and accessory glass (including some accessory glass unique to Annette’s classes). Each student will make approximately 6 to 8 decorations such as snowmen, robins, stars, Christmas trees and mistletoe or a personal themed decoration. Alternatively, you can make a larger fused glass panel of your own theme (Christmas, Winter or a theme personal to you.) If you make a larger piece, this will look lovely in a frame or hung in a well-lit spot or it can be curved to be free-standing or you could purchase a beautiful oak stand at the class for your piece (available to view at the class.)
This course is suitable for both beginners and those with fusing experience. The recommended age for this workshop is 16+ to adult. Refreshments including mulled wine (and a non-alcoholic alternative for non-drinkers and u18s), hot drinks, mince pies and nibbles are available to help keep your creative juices flowing. Don’t worry if you don’t feel you are very creative. Fused glass is a very tactile and forgiving medium and even complete beginners can get fantastic results.
Your glass picture will be fired in a specialist glass kiln after the course and will be available to collect from Arthouse a week or two later or it can be posted (postage charged at cost).
The course will be run in a small group to ensure lots of individual attention and is subject to a minimum number of people attending. If less than the minimum number sign up to this workshop, you can transfer to another session or get a full refund.
Next steps – Annette runs longer and multi-part fused glass courses which will enable you to make larger and more complex pieces and to also learn more in-depth skills. She also runs Fused Glass jewellery courses which range from short tasters up to full day and multi-part Foundation course run over several weeks.
