Introduction to Glass Fusing - 1 day

An introduction to kiln formed glass, also know as fusing, we will explore the basic rules and experiment with creating texture in the glass. Suitable for absolute beginners, no glass cutting or fusing experience necessary. Maximum of  4 people per class.

Mirror and Bowl Workshop - 1 day  
£135

On this one day workshop, you will design and create a 12" by 12" mirror frame, which after firing in the kiln to your personal desired effect, will be attached to a mirror and a wall hanging attached. You will be shown how to cut the round base for the accompanying bowl and you can then design and create your own unique piece of art glass. The bowl will be fused in the kiln overnight to your own desired effect, the options for which you will be demonstrated to you on the workshop. The bowl will then require a second firing in the kiln, the process is called slumping, where the item will be placed on a mould.

Mirror Only - 1/2 day
From £45 - £95 (dependent on style and size choice)

If you wish, you can decide just to design and create a mirror frame, without the bowl. You can opt for a specific size, small, medium and large, depending on your own individual requirements and budget. Contact Rachel at the studio for a range of sizes and actual price for your choice. Suitable for absolute beginners to glass.
