Discover the art of fusing glass and explore a variety of techniques. You will learn the fundamentals of glass cutting, assembly, accessory glass, metal inclusions, and kiln firing under the expert guidance of the Glass Hub Tutors. A great introduction for beginners or artists working in other mediums to experiment with this art form.
Discover the potential of heat, volume and displacement to create amazing optical effects with fused glass. You will use Bullseye glass and stringers to create intricate patterns, which when fused will compress and stretch to create lens-like effects.
Combine Bullseye sheet glass, powder, frit or metal foils to create reactions when fusing, resulting in special colours and effects. We will experiment with the use of lead, copper and sulphur bearing glasses, as well as red reactive, in sheet glass, stringer and frit form, to create amazing reactive combinations.

Get creative with glass and explore a range of techniques for manipulating glass in the kiln. You'll experiment with glass fusing, reactive fusing, iridescent fusing and deep fusing. We will also look at relief casting, slumping, drop-out moulds, pot melts and open-faced moulds - creating form and texture in cast glass.
Our 8-week glass foundation course is a great way to explore a wide variety of techniques and processes involved in creating with glass. Each Wednesday you will explore hot glassblowing and kiln-forming techniques together with some lampworking, sandblasting and more.
Explore some exciting new techniques in fusing and slumping, including crackle fusing, fossil vitra, working with dichroic glass and drop-out slumping.

Join us for a day exploring the ‘Fossil Vitra’ technique to create new effects in fused glass. Using prepared organic objects such as leaves or flowers you will work with glass powder applications and stencilling to create stunning fossil-like effects.
Have you ever wanted to re-create the colours that inspire you into glass but not sure where to start. Ruth Shelley will guide you through the Bullseye colour palette with demonstrations, practical hands-on experiments and discussion.
