The Perfect Personalised Present
In advance of this class you will send me your favourite photo, which I will have made into a ceramic decal for use during the workshop. In the class we will discuss the background colour of the glass in your piece, and you will then cut the glass and decorate the boarder (if you want) and fix your decal onto the glass. They will then be fired overnight onto the glass surface.
I will then mount your work in a simple white frame for you to collect midweek…
…and viola….the perfect personalised present!

Flat Pate de Verre
In this taster session you will have the opportunity to design and create your own piece of flat pate de verre (paste of glass). Using sharp hand tools you will engrave a piece of plaster with your design and then fill with glass powders and Frits. These will be fired for 24 hours and after removal of the plaster be ready for collection mid week

Make your own Tealight
These mini pate de verre vessels hold a small tea light candle and can be custom made in your favourite colour or to suit the decor in your house. During the class you will hand-build your own plaster mould and pack with colourful crushed glass. These pieces will be fired twice and then divested (plaster removed), ready for pick up midweek.
