Masterclass: The Perfect Vessel – Karl Harron

The aim of this 7-day class led by artist and master craftsman Karl Harron is to achieve a "sublime form".

Vitrigraph and Murrine

  • Thu 15 July 2021
On this course we will focus on the use of small elements to make fused glass pieces. Working with sheet glass we will create pattern bar, which will be fused and cut. We will also work with the vitrigraph to create pulled coloured cane to be used in our fused pieces.

Fossil Vitra

  • Sat 3 July 2021
An opportunity to explore the fossil vitra method, as well as stencil techniques, to create interesting new effects in fusing. We will use prepared organic objects such as leaves to explore powder application, as well as stencils to create imagery, developing new ways of creating 'fossil' like effects and natural forms in our fused glass pieces.
