Join Katherine Huskie for a playful introduction to creating glass elements for jewellery using flameworking techniques. Move, stretch and transform borosilicate glass and experiment with colour and form.
The ideal follow-on course to our one-day or half-day classes. You will learn the fundamental skills of hot glass sculpture to shape a flower and a bird - getting the feel of how to master this magical material, followed by a blown piece like perhaps a tumbler. In the afternoon expand your skills to create a bowl, or plate.
Explore advanced pattern forming in fused glass over five days with glass artist Ian Chadwick. Working from Bullseye glass stringer sheets, you will expand your knowledge and experience of both kiln-forming and cold-working techniques to produce intricate, geometric, mandala-like patterns.
