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.
Explore some exciting new techniques in fusing and slumping, including methods such as drop-outs, and powder techniques like fossil vitra, screen printing and part sheets. An excellent follow-on day to One Day Fusing.
Explore the potential of pattern bar or ‘murrine’ techniques to make highly detailed elements for fusing into larger projects, or for smaller jewellery components. Striking patterns and effects can be achieved with this deceptively simple technique.
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.
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.
An opportunity to explore some exciting new techniques in fusing and slumping, including crackle fusing, fossil vitra, working with dichroic glass and drop-out slumping.
