Festive Fused Glass Fun

A fun Christmas-themed fused glass taster session suitable for all the family. Guided by professional glass maker and tutor Annette Daly, you will make some beautiful and unique fused glass Christmas decorations (up to 4 small or 2 medium decorations) or a 10cm x 10cm picture or coaster.

Although glass cutting is not required for this short workshop, you can have a go at this fun skill if you wish. There will be a wide selection of top-quality Bullseye glass and accessory glass for you to use, some of which is exclusive to Annette Daly Glass.

This course is suitable for both adults and children (from 5 years +) and no previous experience of glass is required. Ideally children under the age of 12 should be accompanied by an adult who can either book their own space and make their own pieces or come along for free to supervise. However, as my studio is quite small, free spaces are limited and available on a first come, first served basis. If your child is younger than 12 and you have been unable to book a free space and do not wish to make your own piece, please stay close by (e.g. there is a lovely kitchen with relaxing area in the HQ building so you can have a tea or coffee there) and leave your contact number with me in case your child needs you.

The decorations you will make can be enjoyed on your Christmas tree for many years to come and also make lovely gifts. No experience is required for this course (although anyone who has done fused glass before is, of course, very welcome.) This course is run in a small group to ensure lots of individual attention. Don’t worry if you don’t consider yourself to be creative or ‘arty’. Fused glass is a very forgiving medium and even complete beginners can get fantastic results. Annette will provide example decorations, templates and ideas to get you started but the possibilities are endless and your decorations will be beautiful and unique.

Your decorations will be fired by Annette in a specialist glass kiln after the course and will be available for collection about a week or two later or they can be posted to you for the cost of postage.

Gift vouchers (valid for 1 year and redeemable against all courses) are also available and make fantastic Christmas presents. Annette can also offer private and corporate workshops for groups, just get in touch if you’d like to find out more.

Venue: The workshop will take place at Annette’s Plymouth Studio (Annette Daly Glass Unit 26, HQ Business Centre, 237 Union Street, Stonehouse, Plymouth, PL1 3HQ.) There are some free visitor spaces in the HQ car park (including several disabled spaces) or there is on street parking (some of which is free) or there are several parking lots within walking distance. Please allow time for parking.

Please arrive about 10 minutes before the workshop is due to start.

Next steps – if you enjoy this workshop and want to do more fused glass, Annette also offers longer and multi-part fused glass workshops as well as fused glass jewellery workshops where you can learn additional skills and make more complex pieces. Fused glass is an extremely versatile, fun and addictive medium!
