    Let’s Get Learning!

    Okay, so I’ve finally got some new dates planned in, see details below.  I’m still trying to tweak the workshop space to make it suitable for the ongoing evening classes that I have planned, so for now, there are just single sessions on offer.

    There’s the usual mix – some full Introduction to Glass Fusing Days.  On these, in the morning, you will learn a little bit (not too overwhelming though) about the science side of glass.  You will also be shown how and get plenty of practice scoring and breaking along with as a couple of techniques with window glass so you can cut and make your own designs.  In the afternoon, we move on to using colourful Bullseye glass.  Again you will have an opportunity to make a variety of things. Whether it’s jewellery, coasters, a wall plaque or a bowl, we’re open to ideas!  Full day sessions are £65.00 per person.

    For the taster sessions, I’ve planned in a few family fun days during the school holidays; younger people are more than welcome.  A responsible adult (yes, that’s you!) has to stay with the child throughout the session, but you have a choice.  You can help your young one with their makes, in which case you would only pay for one place.  Or, if your child is a older and more capable, it’s a lovely activity to do together and you get your own set of makes each, this is charged per person.  Bear in mind though, we do work with glass that, pre-firing, does have sharp edges.  Kids are often more sensible and careful than adults though!  If you’re not sure, get in touch HERE,  happy to answer any questions.

    *** APOLOGIES, BUT DUE TO THE RECENT CORONA VIRUS OUTBREAK, ALL GROUP CLASSES HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.  GIFT VOUCHERS ARE STILL AVAILABLE AND WILL HAVE AT LEAST ONE YEAR EXPIRY DATE ON THEM***

    I’ve added a couple of evening dates for some after work creative time, and also added a Mother’s Day session – what better way to treat Mum than to spend some time together, getting creative?  Most tasters are £25.00 per person

    Finally, on a diet?  Think the kids get too much chocolate at Easter?  Well, instead of scoffing eggs all weekend, why not come along and create your own glass Easter Egg hanging?  I will be getting some special shapes cut for you to decortate with coloured accessory glass, and for the workshop price of £30, you will get two shapes, approx 12cm tall.  This would be a great session to share.  Also great for a gift, although it won’t be ready to take away on the day as just like all other sessions, the glass needs lots of hours in the kiln before it’s ready
