This gentle introduction to glass fusing is specifically designed for complete beginners. Participants will make four glass coasters/tile sized projects 10cm square, with a seascape design using copper oxide. A number of designs will be readily available – starfish, shrimp, coral, seahorse, clam, dolphin, turtle, fish, etc. However, participants can make up their own simple design at the workshop. Tutor Keith Sheppard will teach them various design techniques; demonstrate the tools required for glass cutting, how to work safely and handle glass with confidence.
The completed fused glass coasters will be taken back to Keith’s studio for firing and returned to the venue one to two weeks later for collection.
All tools and materials will be provided. Participants may wish to bring their own safety glasses. Please wear suitable clothing and flat shoes.
Please note: completed glass decorations will not be returned by post. Collection only from the venue.
