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.
Fire up your glass fusing and create special colours and effects using reactive elements. Experiment with Bullseye sheet glass, powders, frits, stringers, metal foils, lead, copper and sulphur glasses to create amazing reactive combinations.
Discover the potential of glassmaking over three days, enough time to fully immerse yourself in hot glass blowing techniques. This is an excellent fun and stimulating course for those looking for a more solid foundation and better understanding of glassblowing techniques.
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.
Explore further techniques in fusing and slumping, including powder techniques like fossil vitra, stencilling and part sheets, plus slumping drop-out vessels. An excellent follow-on day to One Day Glass Fusing and an opportunity to extend your skills or to develop new creative directions with expert guidance.
Join us for a weekend of glass fusing and explore a wide range of techniques to create your own designs in glass. Learn about glass cutting, assembly, inclusions, and kiln firing plus further techniques including slumping, drop-outs and powder techniques like fossil vitra.
