Course Breakdown
Day 1:
Learn all the basics of fused glass, including easy and safe glass cutting. Work with coloured glass, frits, confetti, glitters, bubbles, and stringers or noodles! Create a small but fun coloured pebble paper weight or letter project to start with, a beautiful sculptural free-standing birch tree or house panel, then a bowl with a design of your choice in the afternoon (we have a plethora of moulds to choose from)
Whilst working on your projects, we will have a little section about getting started with your own kiln and set-up, hints and tips, materials, suppliers, and glass types. Enough information to get you started and interesting for those here just to enjoy the class. We work with Bullseye glass, Spectrum, and float glass.
Day 2:
Create an beautiful organic free standing sculpture working with plant life, wire, oxides & bubbles, then you will move onto your 25 x 25 cm embossed glass panel, or you may split this into two or three separate panels. You can work with enamels, cut glass, stringers, confetti, enamels, and glitters, and also incorporate embossed or sculpted designs. We have lots of templates, and of course we will assist you with your own design too.
You will also have the opportunity to slump and play, transforming glass bottles—a fun way of recycling!
  • Your fused glass panel will incorporate everything you have learned over the two-day fused glass course at The Silver Zebra Studio.
  • Time allowing, you are free to create other projects or samples here! Often an exciting time as you are free to just play.
  • Handouts are available that cover slumping, sample kiln schedules, problem-solving, hints and tips, and advice on materials.
  • A perfect class for some “me” time, anyone starting out or just interested in glass looking to produce their own beautiful pieces
Come and join us, relax, enjoy creating, and chat over our beautiful farmhouse lunches in the middle of the Cheshire countryside, a warm welcome is always guaranteed
