Glass Fusion Abstract Christmas Tree & Snowflakes Decoration Workshop
Description
In this workshop Sally will guide you through making colourful abstract tree or snowflake decorations. The beauty of these pieces is that they all react differently in the kiln and no two are ever the same. You will have access to a wide choice of colours in both transparent and opaque glass to design your own tree ornaments. You will learn how to cut glass and will have access to all of the tools and safety equipment necessary to make your beautiful decorations. Everyone works at different speeds but you can typically make 2 to 3 pieces at this session. After the workshop your creations will be taken to Sally’s studio where they will be fired twice in her kiln. They will be ready within 7 days of the workshop and can be collected from Stanwick Lakes or posted out to you for the cost of the postage. Suitable for all abilities. Old clothes are recommended. Please do not wear open toed shoes. About the Tutor Sally has always loved glass, particularly the reflections you get from the sun shining through garden art and after attending some glass fusion courses, she bought her first kiln in 2019. She has since honed her teaching skills and developed a passion for teaching. There are so many things to make, different techniques to learn, firing schedules to understand - the possibilities for experimentation are endless. Sally’s workshops are always relaxed and fun and she encourages everyone to come up with their own designs. She particularly enjoys working with people who say they are not artistic or creative because they always surprise themselves by creating something beautiful.
