Come and learn the basic techniques involved with glass fusing at this friendly, hands-on workshop!
This is a beginner's course held in a learner-friendly environment, so no previous experience is needed. You will be guided as you practise how to:
  • Cut glass to a pattern
  • Cut glass stringers
  • Use powdered frits (glass powders)
  • Use enamel paint pens
  • Incorporate metal inclusions into your work
  • Experiment with Fossil Vitra (inclusion of plant matter in the kiln)
On the day, you will get to design and make your own unique coaster, a rectangular wall hanging, and your Fossil Vitra experiments.
Once your pieces have been fired in the kiln, you will be able to collect them, or they can be sent out to you in the post. You'll leave the session feeling inspired, with your own beautiful glass creations ready to be admired.
What you'll get

April is passionate about all techniques in glass. She became captivated by its luminosity, jewel like radiance and ability to cast shadows of colour. Her own creative practise involves traditional stained glass techniques and warm glass techniques such as fusing. Her work is inspired by nature, folkloric stories and aims to bring about beauty through light.
April teaches in her workshop at Rock Farm in Shepton Mallet. She has also trained as a Stained Glass Conservator at Holywell Glass in Wells and ran therapeutic art sessions for the Charity One25. Her approach to learning is to encourage and problem solve. Being dyslexic herself she understands that repetition and clear instructions are important to help learners get the most from her workshops. Her main aim is for her students to have fun, gain some confidence in a craft and leave with something uniquely beautiful.
