Fused Glass Christmas Wreath Workshop for Beginners
Glass Fusing workshops with Mike Caddy
"A fantastic day, would highly recommend." - Maureen
Fused Glass Christmas Wreath- make your own glass wreath approx 220mm wide on this half--day workshop suitable for beginners.
On this half-day mini workshop you'll make your own Christmas Wreath and learn a little about glass fusing along the way. You'll even learn some basic glass cutting skills!
You'll be using fusible glass, coloured frit and glass you'll crush with a hammer to add texture and a 'frozen icicle' effect for your wreath.
You'll start by cutting a number of glass shapes out of glass under our expert guidance.
You'll then lay out the first layer, and build up the overlaping second layer to ensure a strong end result.
Then it's time to add coloured glass frit and crushed clear glass if desired to create your own individual wreath art. After firing you'll be able to collect your wreath. You're now ready to enjoy your art at home!
This class will give you a brief introduction to glass cutting, basic tack fusing, including the difference between the types of glass you can fuse with, and some of the essentials of kiln operation and is suitable for all levels, especially beginners.
The course cost of £65 inc VAT includes:
- All the glass, frit and other materials needed to make your wreath
- Use of all tools, apron, goggles and other protective gear
- Refreshments during the class plus Christmas treats!
- Maximum class size 7 people
- Your wreath to collect after firing in the kiln (5-7 days)
- Class runs from 2-00 to (approx) 5pm or 6pm - 9pm at our Northants studio just outside Towcester
