A fun half day learning how to make colourful glass flowers that are guaranteed to last all year and not die on you! You will be shown a sample of small pieces that are achievable within the time and it's up to you to decide which ones you would like to make. You are welcome to bring your own ideas and inspiration. I will show you how to cut glass safely and show you all the types of materials you can use - from sheet glass, frit (crushed glass) and glass stringers, to stencils, copper or silver inclusions and sparkly dichroic glass. The glass will then be fired in the kiln overnight. Suitable for beginners.

Make year round colourful glass art for your garden. In this workshop you will have the opportunity to make my popular garden art Flower Pops, which are mounted on steel rods for use in the garden. You should be able to make up to 5 Flower Pops in the time allowed; one large, three medium and one small Flower Pop. There are plenty of examples of the Flower Pops in my garden and in the studio for inspiration. 

I will show you how to cut out the glass circles safely and then you are free to create your own designs using a rainbow variety of sheet glass, frit (crushed glass) and glass stringers in a variety of colourways and patterns. Suitable for confident beginners and those more experienced in glass cutting. The glass will be fired in the kiln, a process that takes up to 24 hours, then siliconed onto the steel rods and left to harden/cure. You will be able to pick up your flowers 2 weeks later.

Can't decide on the perfect present? How about a fused glass workshop experience? I offer gift cards for half day workshops, usually held on a Saturday or Sunday morning. This is a fun half day workshop learning how to make colourful glass art.

Workshops take place in my oak-framed garden studio in Grayshott, Surrey. The workshops will be for no more than 3-4 people so I can give everyone enough attention to help them.

Please bring an apron and wear old clothes and closed toed shoes. I will provide organic tea and bean to cup coffee for all workshops. Please bring a packed lunch if you are doing one of the full day workshops.

All abilities welcome. Children over the age of 12 and accompanied by a responsible adult are welcome.
