For those of you who already know how to cut glass, then you have the option of trying out fusing.
Fusing is when we place many pieces of glass into a kiln and heat them up to around 800degrees. The heat then causes the pieces to melt together and create one solid piece of glass.
You will learn :
The importance of compatibility
Special design considerations for fusing
Kiln essentials
Fusing schedules
Jewellery making
Panels
At the end of the day your pieces will be fired and either sent to you or you can pick them up the next day.
You can make either panels, glass jewellery or both.
Dates are available throughout the year, either 1, 2 or 5 day courses.
Priced at only 110 per day, with discounts available if you book a course.
