This one-day, hands-on workshop is a great introduction to the art of glass fusing. You’ll get to know the materials and tools, learn how to cut and handle glass safely, and explore how to layer and assemble your own design ready for kiln firing.
Your finished piece—or set of smaller works—will be fused in the kiln after the class. Once fired and finished, your work will be carefully packaged and sent out to you.
Held in my private garden studio in Bognor Regis, each workshop is limited to just three participants. This small-group setting allows plenty of time for individual guidance, helping you build confidence with the techniques and enjoy a relaxed, creative atmosphere.
All tools and materials are included, with a wide selection of glass to work with. Whether you're dipping your toe into a new hobby or looking for a fresh way to express your creativity, this session offers a thoughtful and inspiring start.
Many students return for follow-on studio days and more advanced courses—building their skills in a welcoming, supportive environment surrounded by flowers and creativity.
