Details of glass fusing classes & prices
I run private glass fusing classes for 1 to 8 people in Worcester. A one-off taster lesson is suitable for people who want to try a new craft, learn the basic techniques of making glass which might lead to a new hobby but we can easily adapt the class if you are not a beginner and I often hold mixed ability classes. You can either come on your own for 1-1 tuition or in your own private group. I have also taught Art students who have submitted pieces for their GCSE Art portfolio (but you REALLY don't need to be artistic to do the class!). Encourage a friend (or a few!) to join you - it is great to have others to bounce ideas off and you get to share the experience together and create new memories. Craft workshops are a great gift idea for someone who enjoys trying new activities (you can buy a gift voucher and the recipient then arranges a date to suit them).
1-1 or 1-2 (1-3 etc) private tuition (9+ years old (U16 accompanied by paying adult)) can be arranged at a time to suit you throughout the year (most weekday daytime or evenings and limited weekend slots available).
A taster class is 1.5 hours but longer classes are also available up to a whole day (please ask for prices for longer sessions). You can choose to make a piece of jewellery/keyring, a sun-catcher or coaster, Christmas decorations, cocktail stirrers etc. Approximately 2-3 items (including 1 large item) can be made in the 1.5 hour taster class, depending on complexity. Your pieces will be ready to collect in 1-2 weeks. (Postage can be arranged)
Cost for a 1.5 hour private glass fusion taster class: £75 for 1 person, £120 for 2 people, £160 for 3, £190 for 4, £230 for 5, £265 for 6, £290 for 7 and £320 for 8 people booking together and will include the glass materials and inclusions, fixing of jewellery bails and the firing of your pieces. Do ask if you want to have more than 1.5 hours - I can run fusing classes for up to a whole day if you want to try different techniques.
The workshop is equipped with a large range of coloured glass in different sizes and formats, various inclusions like glitter, bubbles and metal, kiln fibre and jewellery fixings, tools and an electric kiln.
You can bring an idea of what you might like to have a go at making - Pinterest is really useful for ideas. If you have a particular project you want to try out (e.g. sun-catcher or coaster) then we can discuss how you can achieve that in the time available. I have plenty of examples to inspire!
REVIEWS: Many reviews of my classes can be read here.
Multiple classes: If you've tried my taster class for beginners and want to do more, you can book a series of classes at a reduced rate.
Fancy combining glass fusing with enamelling and/or stained glass?
I offer a half-day combined enamelling and glass fusing course or all 3 in my 3-in-1 Glass Experience Day course, including lunch.
Or you could combine glass fusing or enamelling with a pottery wheel class in a half-day or whole-day pottery & glass combined course.
