Join us for this captivating glass fusing workshop in Derby, where you’ll discover the art of designing and crafting your own fused glass pieces. From learning about the materials to creating beautiful decorative items, this hands-on class is a fantastic introduction to working with glass.
This workshop is perfect for complete beginners as well as anyone curious about trying something new. If you’re feeling unsure about working with glass, don’t worry -- everything is explained clearly and demonstrated step by step, so you’ll feel confident throughout the session.
What to expect:
  • An introduction to the basics of glass fusing, including tools, equipment, health and safety, kilns, and different types of glass.
  • A demonstration of how to cut and shape glass, followed by guided practice.
  • The chance to create several fused glass projects, such as a small bowl, coasters, Christmas decorations, and more (time permitting).
  • Step-by-step demonstrations before each technique so you can follow along with confidence.
  • A relaxed and supportive environment with light refreshments available.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have designed a collection of unique fused glass pieces. Your creations will be professionally fired in the kiln and sent to you once cooled -- ready to display, gift, and enjoy for years to come.

Ruth and Andy Harrison are full time self-taught glass artists based in Burton-On-Trent.
Lampworking and fusing began as a hobby, quickly became an addiction followed shortly after by us selling our business and creating our own studio to work with glass full time.
Glass is an obsession that satisfies us artistically as well as suiting our engineering backgrounds, melting various glass colours and cooling them to room temperature while instilling strength and durability requires a scientific approach as well as an artistic one. We are constantly inspired by the never ending palette of colour available to us and seeking the unexpected reactions that occur between them.
We now teach to pass on our addiction to others!
