    New Workshop Dates

    Just adding a couple of new dates before Christmas.

    Sunday, 15th November – Glass Fusing Workshop £60 per person

    This will be a full day, general introduction to fusing class run as a group session – will go ahead if a minimum of three people book.  You will learn how to cut glass, along with several different techniques to add texture and colour.  Basic materials are included, enough to make several small items that can be used for pendants or decorations, as well as a window hanger or coaster.  Larger or more expensive projects may be undertaken at an extra charge, this can be discussed.

    Saturday 5th December – Christmas Decoration Workshop – £40 per person

    This will be a half-day session where you will get the opportunity to learn how to cut glass along with some techniques to make your own Christmas decorations.  Materials are included, and you should get the chance to make 6 to 8 small pieces.

    Get in touch if you’d like to book yourself a place!

    Another Commission, Another Happy Customer!

    A couple of months ago, I was asked to make a gift for a golden wedding anniversary, by a forum acquaintance who’d come to me for a fusing workshop –  Karen is a lovely lady, who threw herself wholeheartedly into the class and is making some lovely pieces herself already!

    Apologies I didn’t take a better photograph, but this platter is about 30cm square and a weighty piece of glass.  The gift was from Karen’s Dad to her Mum, the people in the photograph.  I was really pleased with the result, and Karen’s parents were thrilled.  It feels good to make a piece that people like!

    It looks as though it’s a double, out of focus image, but because the decoration is on the top surface of a thick layer of clear, it appears to be floating above the cream base.  Optical illusion!

    I Can Show You These Now!

    A few months ago, I welcomed three lovely ladies to my studio for a short workshop. As always (not being the tidiest of people) I had some samples and test pieces lying around which caught their eyes. I’d only recently developed the braille postcard idea, but discussion led to commission and I was asked to make two Morse code postcard/panels for my visitors.

    The gifts have been given, so now I can show you what I made.
