About this course
This one day course will take you through the stages of designing cutting and
assembling specialist fusing glass to create a sea themed hanging or coaster, and a
panel that can be mounted onto a wooden base, or presented as a free standing wave

All the necessary specialist materials and equipment will be provided. Once
complete, your glass will need to 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?
No prior experience required; just an open mind and a willingness to experiment.
What do I need to have with me?
For safety reasons you must wear casual clothing and closed toed shoes in the
studio.
