Description

The fused glass gingerbread house workshop is a delightful and festive experience that combines the art of glass fusing with the charm of gingerbread houses. Participants are guided through the process of creating their own tabletop gingerbread houses using glass as the medium. They learn how to cut and shape glass pieces to form the walls, roof, and intricate details of the gingerbread house. The workshop instructor provides techniques for adding colourful accents, such as glass frits and copper, to create the illusion of pattern and texture

What's included in the price?

After the glass pieces are fused in a kiln, then assembled together, resulting in charming and durable glass gingerbread houses that can be treasured as decorative pieces or holiday ornaments.

Xena reviewed: Glass Plant Pot Mini Sculptures

"Thoroughly enjoyed our time yesterday making a various glass items. My dad made a set of coasters and I made a mini plant pot and a baby mobile. Can’t wait to see how they have turned out. Can’t thank Charlotte enough for her time and creating such a lovely atmosphere, I’ll definitely be back to make something else ☺️"

Penny reviewed: Handkerchief Tealight Bowl

"A really enjoyable 2 hours focusing on creating something that ended up looking amazing! It was so relaxing just talking to Charlotte about glass, glass techniques, life in general, and making my creation. This is the first time I have ever done anything like this and I was truly amazed when I collected my finished tealight holder. I am now a #glassaddict and have already book another session with fam."

Jane Meek reviewed: Fused Glass Coasters or Small Dish

"Absolutely loved doing this course. I was a bit apprehensive about going on my own and my lack of artistic ability. Jane put everyone at their ease by her humorous approach. Very informative on the instruction part and supportive when we were creating our glassware. I throughly enjoyed it and would like to attend another course in the future. Will recommend it to my friends."

"Charlotte was engaging and knowledgeable in her craft. I purchased as a gift for me and my partner and we weren't sure what to expect having never done anything like it but we thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to see our finished items once they've been in the furnace. We will definitely be back again!"

Anne reviewed: Crushed Glass Dish Workshop

"As a complete beginner and self declared as lacking creativity, I thoroughly enjoyed this work shop. Jane was very welcoming, knowledgeable and supportive. After taking us through the skills and tools we needed to complete our project, we had a varied selection of designs and glass colours to choose from. Jane was on hand to give as little or as much support and advice as needed. I really enjoyed seeing what the more experienced and creative people were doing too. Look forward to my dish arriving by post! "

Kathryn reviewed: 2 Hour Fused Glass Workshop with Glass Quarter Designs

"Honestly the most fun I’ve had in ages. Jane is so charismatic and witty, she had us in stitches the whole time. Fab balance between teaching a craft and giving the learner the freedom to express themselves. Jane demonstrated the techniques, then was on hand to help with any tricky bits. She welcomed our ideas and showed us various ways of achieving in glass what we had sketched on paper. She was very encouraging but not patronising and she really knows her craft. The course was fairly priced too. I have attended craft courses before which cost the earth and weren’t nearly as good as this one. There was no scrutiny over the amount of materials we were using to achieve our design which meant it was really relaxed and fun. I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you so much Jane. "

G Vose reviewed: Imprint Glass Fusing

"We had the most wonderful afternoon with Charlotte in the glass workshop. There was an excellent, very wide choice of options of things to make and of possible ways to create your piece with different materials and techniques once decided on. Charlotte’s tuition was excellent - clear instructions given in a friendly, encouraging way. The group size is only 6, allowing plenty of time and help for each participant. We had lots of laughs - plus mugs of tea and biscuits. Thank you Charlotte 🙂👍🌈"
