The course will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of creating glass objects in a kiln. Experiment with coloured Art Glass materials and design a lovely set of Harlequin coasters or be inspired by the artist Mondrian and use his colours to create a set of coasters. We will focus on pattern, colour and design.
We will start with a quick tutorial on glass cutting and suitable tools. We will look at examples and discuss how glass reacts when fired in a kiln. Guidance on design ideas and use of colour will be covered and we will discuss how to create a theme within our set of coasters. You will then be able to work with a selection of coloured sheet glass to design your own unique set of 4 coasters.
What next?
Learners will have the opportunity to extend their interest and skills in Glass fusing by attending other glass fusing workshops.
Entry criteria
No previous experience of glass fusing is needed for this workshop and all learners are welcome.
