Cheney SchoolYou will have the chance to get involved in two projects; a first where you can make a large glass table decoration/wreath or window decoration, and a second where you can create Christmas tree hanging decorations, small glass fused gift tags, stocking fillers or tea light holders.
In order to avoid disappointment, it is advisable to enrol at least 2½ weeks prior to the course starting. We will confirm course information two weeks prior to the start date.
Project 1: We will start by making a large glass table decoration/wreath or window decoration. Design ideas, glass cutting and assembling will be covered. For this project we will be using clear glass. Once fired you will be able to dress it up with suitable ‘accessories’ to suit the colours of your Christmas table. By using some greenery from the garden, fairy light, ribbons and baubles you can create a very unique decoration for your door or table.
Project 2: For project 2, you will have the opportunity to create Christmas tree hanging decorations, small glass fused gift tags, stocking fillers or tealight holders. Previous students have made glass snowflakes, colourful hanging ornaments and Christmas scene coasters. There are many possibilities and whether you are new to glass or have experience of fusing there will be lots to inspire you, with beautiful results. Bring suitable resources as inspiration and have fun experimenting and creating your own designs.
Please bring with you: a sketchbook/notebook and pen; photos, patterns and pictures to use as inspiration; a dust mask; an apron; an old but clean dishcloth is useful. Please wear closed-toe shoes.
There is free parking onsite. Please bring lunch and refresh
Courses can fill fast, so please enrol early to avoid disappointment. Decisions on whether a course is to run are made two weeks prior to the start date - an email will be sent to you should there be changes to your course or if it is cancelled. Please check your inbox leading up to your course, including the junk folders. For anyone without an email account, our Admissions team will phone you instead.
For the first week of the course you will need to bring a valid form of identification; this includes passport, driving licence, debit/credit card, Birth Certificate or National Insurance card.
Please note - you should be 19 years old or over at 31st August 2024 prior to starting the course.
Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.
Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.
If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.
Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.
The rules on fee reduction are complicated, we would encourage you to talk to our Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to discuss these options. You can find more information on our Fees and Bursaries page - search "Fees and Bursaries" at the top of the page.
