Derby Activities
Join us for a captivating glass fusing class in Derby where you'll uncover the art of designing and crafting fused glass pieces. Within this workshop, you'll learn the following:
All aspects of fusing for beginners will be covered, including tools & equipment, health & safety, kilns, and types of glass, followed by a demonstration and practice of cutting and shaping glass.
We will then move on to make some fused glass projects: a small bowl, coasters, Christmas decorations, as many as time allows.
Feeling uncertain about working with glass? This activity is structured to make the process accessible for complete beginners. During the session, you'll receive step-by-step instruction with demonstrations of each technique before you try it yourself. The workshop provides a relaxed environment with light refreshments available as you explore colour combinations and decorative elements to bring your designs to life.
By the end of this how-to workshop, you'll discover the satisfaction of creating with this fascinating medium. Your completed pieces will be carefully fired in professional kilns and sent to you once cooled, providing lasting mementos of your creative experience that can be displayed and enjoyed 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!
