Glass Fusing for Beginners - Tealight Holders mini workshop
Description
Glass Fusing Tealight Holders - mini workshop. "Very nice surroundings and a calm place to do some craft work - thank you." - Paula Make a set of four beautiful fused glass tealight holders on this fun workshop. On this workshop you'll create several fused glass tealight holders like the ones we sell in the gallery. You'll also gain an insight in to some of the basics of glass fusing - a gentle introduction to an artform many of our students have gone on to enjoy developing in their own home. You'll be decorating pre-cut glass squares with a wide range of coloured glass frits (crushed glass), enamel pens, glass noodles and more to your own designs. The workshop provides enough materials to make four tealight holders so you'll have plenty of opportunity to try out your ideas. What attendees have said about our classes: "Very enjoyable, paced well and creativity was supported." "Definitely want to come again." "Well constructed, good pace and very satisfying. Really enjoyable day and much recommended." "I wouldn't consider myself at all artistic but I found this great fun"
