About this Event
A fun Christmas-themed fused glass taster session suitable for Home Educated kids and their families. 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) 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 (usually no more than 8 people) 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 in a week or two or they can be posted for the cost of postage.
Venue: This workshop will be held in Annette’s studio (Unit 26, HQ Building, 237 Union Street, Stonehouse PL1 3HQ.) There is limited free visitor parking on site (please register your car on the screen in the main entrance for 3 hours free parking), or there is some free street parking and paid spaces on the street and nearby.
Gift vouchers (valid for 1 year and redeemable against all courses) are also available and make fantastic Christmas presents.
Next Steps: Annette runs a variety of courses including half day, full day and multi-part courses. She also runs fused glass jewellery workshops so if you enjoy this workshop, there are plenty of opportunities to carry on and learn more fused glass skills. Some participants from previous workshops have enjoyed the courses so much that they have gone on to set up their own studios and buy their own kilns!
