Glass Experience Day Workshop

Immerse yourself in the world of glass art at this full-day workshop.



7 hours Class size 1 to 4     label £170

This is a full-day introduction to the fascinating world of working with glass, both kiln-fused and flame-worked, to create your very own masterpieces to take home.

To begin, we will use an oxy-propane lampwork torch to explore flame working. We will guide you to make several styles of glass beads, pull stringers, and twists.

We will then move on to cutting sheet glass to make a fused glass project using the stringers and twists you made on the torch - a small bowl, a Christmas decoration, or your choice.

Finally, we will move back to the lampwork torch and try glass blowing - a Christmas bauble or small pendant.

Don't worry if you're new to working with glass – we will provide step-by-step instruction to guide you and ensure you feel confident and inspired throughout the activity. You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques and start creating your own unique design.

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!
