About this Event
An introduction to glass fusing - with a festive twist!
Join Alex at Makerspace Hull for Festive Glass Fusing
Glass fusing is a popular artform that has been practiced for centuries - by heating and forming colour glass we can create endless creations such as sculpture, tableware, and beautiful works of art. Makerspace Hull strives to keep this incredible artform alive by providing kiln firing as a publicly accessible service, using our Hobbyfuser Kiln. Join us this festive season as we guide you through making the perfect hand-made glass-fused gift!
This 2 hours session will include:
- an introduction to glass cutting
- guidance on types of glass and tools
- tuition on how to fire a kiln
- each participant will creat their own glass fused tea light holder
Glass fused tea light holders will be available to collect on Mon 21st Dec due to the timings required for kiln firing
All materials will be provided, as well as tea & coffee and a tour of Makerspace Hull.
All attendees must be aged 16+
(This is one of two available dates - please see Hull libraries Eventbrite for alternative dates)
