Full day fused glass Flower Pop workshop £190
Suitable for confident beginners and intermediate students
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. They can be left outside all year round. 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), powdered glass, glass paint and glass stringers (thin rods of glass) in a range of colourways and patterns. Suitable for confident beginners and those more experienced in glass cutting. The glass will be fired in the kiln, up to 800 degrees celcius, then gradually cooled and annealed to take any stresses out, a process that takes up to 24 hours. I will then silicone them onto the steel rods and leave to harden/cure. You will be able to pick up your flowers 2 weeks later.
