A fun Christmas-themed fused glass taster session suitable for all. Guided by professional glass maker and tutor Annette Daly, you will make some beautiful and unique fused glass Christmas decorations (up to 4 small or 2 medium decorations) or a 10cm x 10cm picture or coaster.
Although glass cutting is not required for this short workshop, you can have a go at this fun skill if you wish. There will be a wide selection of top-quality Bullseye glass and accessory glass for you to use, some of which is exclusive to Annette Daly Glass.
Children (5+) are very welcome but under 12s must be accompanied by an adult. (Adults can either attend and supervise their child/children for free, no booking required, or make their own decorations in which case they will need to book a space for themselves too.)
The decorations you will make can be enjoyed on your Christmas tree for many years to come and also make lovely gifts. No experience is required for this course (although anyone who has done fused glass before is, of course, very welcome.) This course is run in a small group to ensure lots of individual attention. Don’t worry if you don’t consider yourself to be creative or ‘arty’. Fused glass is a very forgiving medium and even complete beginners can get fantastic results. Annette will provide example decorations, templates and ideas to get you started but the possibilities are endless and your decorations will be beautiful and unique.
Your decorations will be fired by Annette in a specialist glass kiln after the course and will be available for collection about a week or so later (before Christmas!) or they can be posted to you for the cost of postage.
Gift vouchers (valid for 1 year and redeemable against all courses) are also available and make fantastic Christmas presents. Annette can also offer private and corporate workshops for groups of 4 or more, just get in touch if you’d like to find out more.
Venue: The workshop will take place at Arthouse, South Brent which is based in a Victorian school building called South Brent Old School Centre, TQ10 9BP. Arthouse is the pink building on the left. There is free parking available in South Brent: https://www.arthousesouthbrent.com/find-us
Please arrive 5 -10 minutes before the workshop is due to start.
Next steps – if you enjoy this workshop and want to do more fused glass, Annette also offers longer and multi-part fused glass workshops as well as fused glass jewellery workshops where you can learn additional skills and make more complex pieces. Fused glass is an extremely versatile, fun and addictive medium!
