Topics covered:
  • How to cut glass
  • A variety of glass fusing techniques
  • How to assemble glass for firing
  • How to design with glass for your individual projects
You will practice first on some plain glass then get to choose from a wide range of coloured glass for your pieces.

This class is suitable for beginners, over 16+ only.

 

The price of the class includes tea or coffee, tuition, use of equipment and all the materials you need to make 2 coasters and 1 sun catcher. If you have time and would like to make an additional item, there will be an extra charge to cover the cost of the materials.


Bethany is happy to run her classes with 2 or more people, if we only get one booking, we will cancel the session and offer the person booked a place on an alternate day or a full refund, which ever they prefer.


After the class all items will be taken away and fired in a kiln and will be ready for collection or postage for £4, usually a week to 10 days after the class.

If the shop is closed when you arrive and the door is locked, please ring the bell and we'll come and let you in.
