Tutor Shirley Eccles
10am - 4pm
(Lunch provided 12.30 - 1.00pm)
This one-day, onsite workshop is suitable for complete beginners and those with experience
Workshop Details
Enjoy creating your own unique Table Centre Piece or Christmas Wreath in Glass as well as some exciting tree decorations during this seasonal workshop. Make this Christmas special with a sparkle of glass.
This is an opportunity to further experiment with glass fusing techniques. There are many possibilities and whether you are new to glass or have experience of fusing there will be lots to inspire you and ideas to share, with beautiful results.
We will plan and cut our glass according to our design and assemble it in a circular form ready for firing in a Glass Kiln. Once fired it will be returned to Ardington for collection. At home you can then use your glass piece and further decorate it as you wish, using ribbons, foliage or fairy lights. Add a candle to your centre piece or a bow to hang your Wreath in the window or on the door to make Christmas special.
Skills/Techniques Covered
Materials
Materials are not included in your booking fee. All glass materials will be provided by the tutor. The approximate cost of these will be £30 per wreath, payable to the tutor during the course. The Price includes Kiln Firing.
A postal service is available at £6.00 but due to the nature of the piece collection will be advisable.
The tutor may not have the facilities to take card payments for materials in the workshops. Please remember to bring cash or your cheque book if your course involves buying materials from the tutor.
Please Bring With You
We advise that you do not buy any materials required for a course more than two weeks in advance, because occasionally a course is cancelled due to low enrolment.
