What is the Programme Content?
Fused glass is an exciting and creative process which involves setting out compatible coloured glass to be melted/fused in a kiln. There are a range of different firings which can be used to create a variety of textural effects, and many additional processes to add detail to your work. This includes painting with enamels and glassline paints, including metals in the glass, capturing natural textures, and even creating decals from drawings and photographs to name but a few. Through this simple process of melting the designs you develop to fuse them forever, we can create anything from beautiful jewellery, to functional bowls, to breathtaking abstract light catching panels.
Who is it for?
The course is suitable for anyone interested in exploring a new creative outlet or in developing and challenging their existing fused glass skills.
What prior experience and knowledge do I need?
None required, but it is also great if you have some previous experience.
What materials or equipment do I need to provide?
None required, but you can bring your own tools for convenience if you prefer.
What materials or equipment do we provide to you?
The tutor will have a range of tools available for you to use in the first few sessions but, for convenience and if required, advice will be given on purchasing your own. The tutor has a glass shop where materials can be purchased by weight as required. This allows you to control how much you spend during the course.
How will I be assessed?
You will be assessed as the course progresses through negotiated projects exploring your own areas of interest. You will also be assessed through sketchbook based activities designed to challenge and develop your creativite approach to ideas.
