A great introduction to glassblowing, suitable for beginners to try their hand at this molten art form. A guaranteed unique and exciting day, you will leave with a new understanding of glass as well as first-hand skills.
Combine Bullseye sheet glass, powder, frit or metal foils to create reactions when fusing, resulting in special colours and effects. We will experiment with the use of lead, copper and sulphur bearing glasses, as well as red reactive, in sheet glass, stringer and frit form, to create amazing reactive combinations.
Discover the art of lampworking beads. One of our experienced glass tutors will guide you through the fundamentals of lampworking (flameworking) using a torch. You will work from your own torch to design and make 10 or more beads over the day, using a wide selection of colours and processes.
Create stunning effects in fused glass using bullseye iridescent sheets. We will use sandblasting and other techniques to manipulate the iridescent surface, gaining experience in creating new effects, as well as looking at clear coating, firing and lots more. A chance to develop new ideas and techniques in kiln forming.

Build flexible, inflatable, and expandable fusings that can be brought out of the kiln to be worked in three dimensions. Students will learn methods and techniques for assembling fusible structures in flat glass, and bringing those structures to a working point from which they can be manipulated either inside or outside the kiln.
