Welcome to my creative space! My name is Marie, and I am the founder of Fired Works Glass Gallery & Studio.
After a successful 20-year career in Information Technology, I decided to follow my true passion. I have been working with glass since 2008 and am a self taught glass artist. In 2014, I transformed a run down building in the heart of Chalfont St Peter into a vibrant, working high street studio and gallery. My journey from corporate IT to creative entrepreneurship recently earned me a spot on the prestigious f:Entrepreneur Top 100 list, celebrating inspiring female business founders across the UK and the previous year one of 100 inspiring small businesses in the UK!
What We Offer at the Studio:
Our fused glass workshops are highly rated, therapeutic experiences designed to transform absolute beginners into confident creators. Surrounded by finished artwork for inspiration, you will learn the hands-on skills of cutting, layering, and designing with glass. We offer a flexible range of sessions to fit your goals:
1-Hour Taster/Children’s Sessions: Perfect for a quick, fun creative escape.
Introductory & Half-Day Workshops: Ideal for diving deeper into glass landscapes and dishes.
5-Week Comprehensive Courses: For those ready to master advanced techniques.
Private Parties: Our workshops run from Wednesday to Sunday, featuring both daytime and evening slots to fit busy schedules.
Planning a special event? If you have a group of 3 or more people, I love hosting private bookings. We can easily arrange a flexible, bespoke date for birthday parties, team building events, or a creative night out with friends.
When I’m not teaching, the gallery operates as "Fired Works and Friends, " showcasing my speciality bespoke glass landscapes alongside beautiful creations from local silver jewellers, knitters, and illustrators.
I can't wait to welcome you to the studio, and help you discover the magic of fused glass.
