Pottery wheel & glass fusing private half-day
Description
Chris Greening runs classes in pottery and I (Sarah Greening) run classes in glass fusing and enamelling separately (you can find our other classes by scrolling down and selecting "see all listings". Jointly, we offer a combined half-day course (1-day courses are also available - please see other listings) in our workshop/studio in Worcester. This makes a great activity for families or friends - we often get generations of family booking a day out together or groups of friends for a birthday celebration or couples wanting a shared experience for an anniversary etc. (Ages 10-16 accompanied by paying adult). Price is per person. The course is 3 hours long and will include a pottery class of approx 1.5 hours (Max. 4 people in each class with a wheel each) and a glass fusing (or enamelling) class of approx 1.5 hours with tea/coffee offered. Pottery: You will have a wheel each with full tuition. In the 1.5 hour session you'll have time to make a couple of bowls on the wheel and then decorate them with coloured slips. Chris will fire them twice and glaze which takes 2-3 weeks. Glass: You will be shown the basics of glass fusing and a wide array of materials available. In the 1.5 hour session you'll have time to create about 2-3 items of your choice: jewellery, coaster, sun-catcher, Christmas decorations, cocktail stirrers etc. Sarah will fire them for you and fix jewellery bails which takes about 1-2 weeks. Alternatively, you can choose to do enamelling (max 3 people only) - you could make 3 pieces of enamelled copper jewellery in the time (these are ready to take away with you on the day). I need to know when booking if you would like glass fusing or enamelling, so please let me know via the 'message the tutor' button. You can choose a morning or afternoon - we are quite flexible on timing and dates and can run for between 1-4 people on a date to be arranged between us. Price is per person. The cost for the half day course includes all materials and the firing of your pieces (for collection in approximately 2-3 weeks. Postage can be arranged at a cost.

Maker
I love sharing my enthusiasm for fusing glass and using my experience to help people make a few pieces they are proud to display at home! I have a small studio where I make my own glass jewellery to sell via shops and galleries and I can teach up to 6 people at the studio in Worcester. I prefer small groups so that I can give each person the individual attention they need to make their creations - I have plenty of examples for those stuck for ideas!
