This workshop is a voyage of discovery into glass fusing and very much about hands on experimentation/creation. Improvers, currently working on a stained glass panel may use this workshop as an opportunity to integrate fused glass in their work so bring along your ideas or drawing/cartoon. These will be developed during the first 40 minutes. You will produce at least one piece of fused glass per session. It is a good idea to do some research beforehand and arrive with potential projects/ideas to develop in addition to those that will be suggested by your tutor. You will be producing small glass pieces such as hanging decorations, coasters or pieces to integrate in a stained glass panel and/or some small jewellery items such as pendants, brooches, etc with a wide variety of glass colours and glass accessories. The fused pieces will be ready for collection from the centre about 7 to 10 days after the course.

?"" Wear old clothes/apron and sensible shoes (avoid wearing open shoes as glass splinters could be a problem). Bring a notepad, a pen, a pencil, a rubber and most importantly a fine waterproof marker pen (Sharpie or similar). If you have never cut glass before bring about 1 sq. ft. of clear glass which needs to be 3 mm thick to practice on (shape is irrelevant). Old window glass or greenhouse glass (3mm thick, not thicker) are generally suitable. Make sure it is not toughened/safety glass as these will be impossible to cut! Bring along a box (cake box, shoe box or similar) with your name clearly marked. This will be used to package the fired pieces you will have created for safe collection after the course. Do a little research beforehand and arrive in the classroom with potential projects/ideas to develop. All tools and materials (within a reasonable limit) are included for exclusive use in the classroom apart from the initial piece of glass to practice on. Equipment required ?""
