This course is run over four sessions.

This course covers such aspects as fusing glass to glass, powders and frits to glass, stringers to glass, kiln carving and slumping. It is run with you in mind - make what you want to make rather than what we want you to make.

The first session (three hours) covers safety,  the technical aspect of kiln work and the possibilities. You will then be able to carry out some experimental and trial work just to have some fun whilst learning. Your work will be fired ready for you to see on the second session.

The second session (three hours) covers any questions you may have, more experimental work and a look inside the kiln at full temperature. This enables you to appreciate just how hot your work gets. You will be asked to think of a few ideas for session three. 

The third session (one hour) is set aside for you to see the work produced in session two and discuss ideas for your own projects. These can be as traditional or as wild as you like. This could be a slumped plate or dish, some coasters, tiles, splashback  or maybe some contemporary work. The chioce is yours. Rest assured, you can talk your ideas over with us and we will offer help at each and every stage.

The fourth session (three hours) is to make your own projects.

The cost for the course is £75.00 which covers materials and firings used on the first  sessions.

Materials and firings used for the fourth session are charged extra.

Your work from the fourth session will be fired and ready for collection after the course has finished.

£75.00 including materials for the first two sessions.
