2008 A Day of Glass Fusing and Enamelling - Tuesday 18th May 2024, 9:30am - 5pm

This will be a full day workshop with glass fusing before lunch and enamelling after lunch. 

We will start the day with enamelling onto a base of copper.  You will learn to work with a number of different forms of enamel as well as a range of techniques and will heat your piece at each step in a kiln of over 800C.  You will see the transformation of your design with each firing and build up a selection of unique pieces. You will finish with the exciting scrolling technique with the kiln temperature much hotter to give you a more interactive manipulation of your design in the kiln.  All your enamelling work will be finished on the day of the workshop and you will be able to take them home with you.

We will break for lunch which will be a selection of bread, cheese, pate, salad and fruit.  Different dietary needs can be provided for.

After lunch we will learn about glass fusing.  You will make a pair of coasters, a trinket dish, a small lantern and a winow hanger and will leearn to work with a number of different forms of glass and be introduced to techniques to give you different effects in your work.  Your pieces will be fired in the kiln after the workshop and can be collected or posted (postage charge is £6.50) approx 2 weeks after the workshop.

Price includes all materials, kiln firings, lunch and refreshments .
