6 Week Creative Fused Glass Workshop Evening Course Starting September 23rd
Creative Fused Glass Workshop Evening Course Starting Monday 23rd September 6:30-8:30pm
Contact Helen Cooper asap, very limited space still available! hc90352@gmail.com or ring 07716636367.
£100 for all 6 sessions for tuition and use of equipment. Glass materials can be purchased from the tutor (as quantity used will vary by project.)
You will learn how to:
- Add metals and wires,
- Cut and layer glass safely.
- Create bubbles in the glass or an embossed/ textured surface.
- Use a microwave kiln to fire small items
- Drill or grind your pieces.
Create items including jewellery, soap & trinket dishes, candle or tealight holders, larger platters, tiered cake stands, clocks, free-standing panels, greeting cards, seasonal or garden decorations and more!
This six-week course is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to explore a creative hobby in a relaxed and supportive environment. You do not need to have previous experience with fused glass, as the sessions are designed to help participants build confidence while learning a range of practical techniques step by step.
Each week will give you the chance to experiment with different materials, textures, colours, and design ideas. Because everyone works at their own pace, you can focus on smaller decorative pieces or gradually move on to more ambitious projects as your skills develop. The variety of possible creations also means that no two sessions need to feel exactly the same.
The evening format makes the course ideal for anyone looking for an enjoyable activity after work or a creative way to spend time with others. Workshops like this can also be a lovely addition to community events, private gatherings, and social evenings, especially when paired with refreshments or services such as Birmingham coffee catering to create an even more welcoming atmosphere.
By the end of the six sessions, you should have a collection of handmade pieces as well as a better understanding of the tools, materials, and firing methods involved in fused glass.
Spaces are very limited, so anyone interested is encouraged to contact Helen Cooper as soon as possible to secure a place.
