TASTER SESSIONS
These quick classes allow you to get an idea of what a specific technique might entail. You will leave the class, knowing a little more about glass with your very own piece to take home. No previous experience required!
Powder Day
Learn to work with glass powders in this short and sweet workshop. Glass powders can be used in a painterly way to create original artworks on sheet glass. If you dont fancy that you can also sieve powders through stencils- I have plenty in the studio to choose from to create patterns and imagery. You will have the choice of creating 4 small pieces or one large piece (approx A4) using either technique or a combination of both.
All materials are provided. No experience of glass necessary.
Saturday 4th May 2019, 2-4pm, £40
Inclusions Day
Come and create 4 unique tiles using a variety of ‘inclusions’. Inclusions are things that you can sandwich in between two pieces of glass- that wont burn away in the kiln! Inclusions you will learn to use in the workshop will include copper sheet, mesh, wire, foils, mica, copper oxide and many others. You will create 4 small pieces that can be framed or used like coasters.
All materials are provided. No experience of glass necessary.
