Fusing Discovery Day with Amanda Mires
2nd October 2025 (Thursday) Duration: 1 day
Location CGUK studio - Rochester, Kent
A compact class to delight and inspire all - from the novice to the artist investigating the set-up of their own kiln-working studio. On this enjoyable one-day workshop you will not only gain a better understanding of glass in general, but also expand your knowledge-base of all the firing processes. It's the perfect class for those who would like to have a little more insight into what happens to glass behind the closed kiln door and how the firing program affects the end result. You will explore:
Selecting materials & tools
Combining exciting mixtures of materials
Firing techniques for perfect results
Adapting processes to suit your needs
Expressing yourself through your work

Our aim is to present reliable techniques in a relaxed atmosphere, so that you gain confidence with firings and discover your true creative potential. At the same time more complex issues such as compatibility, viscosity and annealing will also be covered, enabling you to build up a solid foundation for all your future glasswork.
Our resident teacher, Amanda Mires will provide a class which will include demos, lectures, written documentation, plenty of hands-on-work and, last but not least - a lot of fun for everybody involved - book now for a class that really delivers!
Projects
A set of small dishes / candle holders
A selection of samples exploring different techniques and firing temperatures
Skill Level
No previous experience required
Please note, places for this class are limited to ensure plenty of support can be offered to each attendee.
NB. A waiting list will be in operation once the class is FULL - please email [email protected] if you would like to be added.
