Discover the art of glass fusing in this vibrant workshop at Walford Mill Crafts, Wimborne. In this introduction to fused glass experience, you’ll learn how to create your own glass art designs in a fun and supportive environment.
This class runs for three hours, meaning you'll have plenty of time for making! Don't worry if you're a complete beginner, we'll take you through the process step-by-step.
You will make three designs during the workshop, including a small suncatcher. Next, we'll show you how to craft a hanging sun-catcher or picture-sized design.
We'll look at the process of kiln-formed glass and learn techniques so you make your own designs however, you are also welcome to use Linda’s templates and pre-cut shapes as well as incorporate metals, granules and glass beads to add texture.
Your designs will be ready to collect 10 days after the session or they can be posted to you for an additional cost of £8.

  • 5/5 from Jade Pye, attended Aug 2026: Attended Linda’s fused glass workshop on a sunny Saturday morning, and had the best time. Linda is an attentive and knowledgeable teacher, equipped with lots of materials and example for us all to learn from. Your own ideas are encouraged and she can discuss, make suggestions and checks in with you along the way. My partner got this as a gift for me, and I can’t wait to come again. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Janine Wilkins, attended Jul 2026: What a wonderful workshop. Linda is so creative, lots of examples to follow and create your own pictures. Linda was lovely and patient and gave really good guidance to us all. Walford Mill location and classroom was perfect.
  • 5/5 from Sarah-Rose Rogers, attended May 2026: Linda was absolutely brilliant! Her class was relaxing and we produced beautiful pieces by the end of it. The tea and biccies were so thoughtful and it was lovely learning a new skill. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!!
  • 5/5 from John McCombe, attended Dec 2025: What a wonderful experience! My mom and my daughter both had an amazing time learning glass fusing together — it was so special to hear about them enjoying and discovering this craft side by side. The instructor was incredibly gracious, patient, and helpful, making the whole class relaxed and enjoyable for all skill levels. We can’t wait to see the finished pieces! I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a unique and meaningful experience like this.
  • 4/5 from Jan Cannings, attended Oct 2025: Was a very enjoyable morning.
  • 5/5 from Pamela Gibson, attended Apr 2025: Excellent. Really enjoyed it. Linda is excellent too - clear explanations and lots of help. We learnt how to cut the glass, how to decorate it in various ways and made two items for ourselves. I had my session given as a present.
  • 5/5 from Jo Smith, attended Mar 2025: We loved our session! Linda was a great teacher, introduced us to different techniques and gave us enough guidance so that we could feel confident but also could be guided by her help and examples that she showed us. We want to go back for another session!
