About this course

This fun and experimental course will cover working with Bullseye glass to create a small hanging beach-hut decoration and a decorative art glass panel for interior or exterior use.

You will be given support and guidance throughout, to achieve the most successful and individual results. 

All the necessary specialist materials and equipment will be provided, but should you require additional glass, this will incur a further charge.

Once complete, your glass will be kiln fired, so it will be ready for collection 7 - 10 days after the event, depending on the type of work being produced. (Each firing will take around 9 hours and a day to cool before the kiln can be opened).
You will be notified when your glass is ready to collect.

What do I need to join this course?

This course is suitable for adults over 18yrs with no prior experience.

What do I need to have with me?

For safety reasons you must wear casual clothing and closed toed shoes in the studio.

About The Tutor 

Christine Jeffryes graduated from Loughborough College of Art and Design with a degree in printed textiles and began her career as a textile designer and colour consultant working for two London based design studios and selling worldwide. 

Her passion for drawing was always evident in her work and she began teaching art and design in a further education college to share her knowledge and skills.
