Plan of the Day:You will be welcomed with refreshments before Jazz gives a short introduction to glass fusing and the wide range of techniques used. You will be introduced to the projects and have time to think about your own creative ideas. You will have a choice of colours, from traditional red, or a small selection of other colours. You will be introduced to glass cutting, and with expert guidance, you will cut and shape your glass to create the petals for your flowers.
Following a break for lunch (please bring a packed lunch with you), you will construct your two poppies, with the opportunity to use accessory glass to add details to your flowers. Once you have finished your 2 flowers, you will have the opportunity to use the off cuts of glass to create smaller floral hanger. All the tools and safety equipment will be supplied alongside expert tuition.
Your pieces will be taken away and fired. They will be available for collection from West Sussex or East Sussex, or can be posted to you (at your own risk) once completed. The 3d flowers are suitable for indoor or outdoor display, and come with sturdy black stems.
