Masterclass: Connected Forms, Flameworking – Zoe Garner

  • Wed 3 May 2023
Drawing concepts and ideas from the movement of the material, you will explore the potential of flame worked Borosilicate (Pyrex) glass. Rods and tubes will be transformed, using gravity, centrifugal force, blowing and manipulation with tools into components that will then be connected to form assembled structures.

Masterclass: Colour Dropouts – Ruth Shelley

  • Tue 25 April 2023
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.
