Add some Christmas sparkle to your festive season and join glass expert Jazz to create a selection of Christmas decorations in fused glass.
Join our festive fused glass workshop and create your own beautiful Christmas decorations! Enjoy a fun, creative day making unique pieces for your tree and home while getting into the Christmas spirit.
Plan of the Day:You’ll be welcomed with refreshments before Jazz introduces you to the world of fused glass. She’ll give a short talk on the different types of glass fusion, the range of materials available, and how they can be used to create varying types of designs. With plenty of glass and accessories to explore, you’ll be encouraged to experiment and create your own unique designs.
Under Jazz’s expert guidance, you’ll learn how to cut glass safely, and how to handle and use a range of accessory glass to create your own Christmas decorations. By the end of the course, you’ll have created one large decoration and three smaller pieces.
Jazz will then take your designs for firing, and your finished decorations will be posted to you within approximately three weeks—just in time to enjoy for Christmas!
