Christmas Fused Glass Night Light (half day) course at Rainbow Glass Studios
Description
A fun and festive morning with us at Rainbow Glass Studios, learning to cut and combine glass that will be fused to make your own Christmas Night Light and candle holder. We will teach you to use glass cutting tools and pliers, and practice scoring and breaking glass, and then move on to a variety of different ways to combine a rainbow of different coloured glass, spots, frits and stringers to create your own design. You will make one night light fused glass panel to sit in its own handmade wooden base. We will fuse your pieces after the class (as it takes 24 hours to "cook" them in the kiln) and you can come back later in the week to collect them, or we can post them out to you for an additional £5 payable on the day when you attend, to cover postage. This course is open to adults over 16 years and children over 12 years (when accompanied by a fee paying adult or guardian also taking part in the class). Come with a friend or family member, and enjoy creating your own homemade fused glass Christmas together!
What's included in the price?

Maker
I'm Eleanor, I'm a jeweller and glass maker and I love colour, texture, design and pattern. I work across all of these in a variety of media including fused glass, enamel, silver, copper, anodised aluminium creating my one-off jewellery and glass pieces. I retrained as a jeweller in 2012, and I work with my husband at Rainbow Glass Studios where I thoroughly enjoy teaching weekend courses in glass and enamelling. I believe everyone has creativity and I want to encourage you to explore yours!

FAQs
No, you don't need any previous experience. We will teach you step by step from the beginning. We will teach you how to cut and combine glass safely and confidently, and work with you to make beautiful fused glass for your home (or jewellery depending on the course) working from a huge range of sample pieces to inspire you, and incorporating your creative ideas into the piece you make.
For all enamelling classes, students need to be over the age of 16 years to attend.
For all fused glass classes, students need to be over 16 years, except for the Fused Glass Christmas Decorations course where we can teach children over the age of 12 if they are accompanied by a fee paying adult too.
