glass course

3-Day Kilnworking

Explore techniques for manipulating glass in the kiln. Over three days you will try out fusing processes such as reactive fusing, iridescent fusing and deep fusing, as well as slumping, drop-out moulds, pot melts and open-faced moulds - creating form and texture in cast glass.

3-Day Explore Glass

Explore a range of hot, warm and cold glassmaking techniques from glass blowing and fusing to beadmaking, sandcasting and more. An intensive three-day course with plenty of hands-on making, where you will learn a lot and have fun exploring the magic of glassmaking.

Masterclass: Advanced Pattern Making in Glass – Ian Chadwick

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.

Glassblowing Taster (Half-Day) 2pm

A great glassblowing 'taster' and introduction to the magic of glass. You will gather hot molten glass straight from the furnace and shape into two objects. Through hands-on making you will gain first-hand insight into this ancient craft.

One-Day Glassblowing

An exciting day and a great introduction to glassblowing for beginners. Learn the fundamentals of the craft while you make your own glass objects, using hot, molten glass straight from the furnace.

3-Day Glassblowing (Intermediate)

If you already have some blowing experience then take your glassblowing to the next stage. The focus of this class will be to learn to work more independently - blowing tumblers, working with colour and much more! Fully immerse yourself in the process, move at your own pace and stretch your limits.

Masterclass: Flexible Fusing – Matthew Szosz

Build flexible, inflatable, and expandable fusings that can be brought out of the kiln to be worked in three dimensions. Students will learn methods and techniques for assembling fusible structures in flat glass, and bringing those structures to a working point from which they can be manipulated either inside or outside the kiln.

Printing Techniques for Glass – Philippa Beveridge

From linoleum cuts to decals, this four-day course will cover surface decoration and printing techniques using both mediums, as well as kiln-forming techniques from fusing and slumping to basic mould-making. All of the techniques covered will be assessed in light of their great potential for both architectural and sculptural glass work.
