Fused Glass and Silver Combination Workshop

1 day workshop, Milnthorpe UK

Best looking liquid in the business!

The fused glass workshop will explore the wonderful colours of dichroic glass using a kiln to fuse it all together at high, carefully controlled temperatures.

I link the fused glass session with either the sterling silver or silver clay workshop in a slightly lengthier course. As most of the time required in the glass course is actually the firing process, combining the different media gives you an opportunity to take home a silver jewellery item as well as a glass creation.

The format of a combined workshop is metal work in the morning, a glass interlude of a few hours, rounding off the day with more metal work. The metal items can be taken home on the day, but the glass is fused overnight and finished items would either need to be collected from the shop or posted to you.

What you’ll learn

  • Design and create your own glass jewellery or wall art
  • Plan/ design your pieces
  • Choose your colours and cut the glass safely using tools provided
  • Lay out the arrangements of colour and prepare them for firing in a kiln

Who it’s aimed at:

  • Beginners – no experience needed.
  • Intermediates – who want to explore more.

Fused Glass

Fused glass is pieces of plain or dichroic glass that is arranged into a design and then heated in an electric kiln until the pieces have fused together to form one piece.
