Introduction to Fused Glass (Part 2) - Thursday 17th October 2013

This one day course is aimed at people who have attended my one day Introduction to Fused Glass course (Part 1) or have some limited previous experience of working with fused glass.  The aim is to extend your existing fusing skills and experience.  The emphasis will be on teaching and learning so you will produce sample pieces for a series of technical exercises.  To finish you will then make a larger piece using the skills that you have learned earlier in the day

Course Content

• How to introduce texture within the glass piece
• Leaf inclusion within the glass piece
• Firing schedules - how glass behaves in the kiln when heated and cooled
• How to obtain different effects with different firing schedules
• Cold working techniques
• Things that can go wrong
• Putting it all together for a final finished piece

The cost is fully inclusive of all glass and supplies, use of tools, kiln, lunch and refreshments.
