Glass Fusing Pebble Bowl - a special occasional evening course"Excellent. Course delivered in an interesting and informative manner - very inspiring!." - Gail Pebble Bowl Slumped Glass Fusing over three evenings - creating beautiful glass forms with texture, for beginners and those with some glass fusing experience. On this workshop you'll learn how to create a beautiful, textured fused glass pebble bowl like the bowls you may have admired at the studio. This course takes place over three evenings on consecutive weeks to allow for multiple kiln firings in between. Over three evenings you'll learn about different kinds of fusing, gain an insight into the kiln firing processes (going far beyond basic full fuse programmes you may have used yourself) and create your own colourful pebble bowl. If you've enjoyed learning the basics of glass fusing on one of our other fusing classes, this is a fascinating next step for your new fused glass addiction! On the first session you'll use fusible glass, frits, bubble powders and more to create the coloured fused sheets that will become the 'pebbles'. These will be fired later that evening; we'll discuss the different firing schedules required for each stage. On the second session you'll smash up the fused sheets you created before (!) to make rough nuggets that will then be fired again to form smooth random pebbles for your bowl. You'll then lay these out on the kiln bed to make a range of differently shaped pieces for an exciting 3d piece! On the final session you'll create your eventual bowl design in your mould for the final tack firing. After firing your amazing bowl will be ready to collect and admire! This class will encourage you to create your own further multi-stage fused glass designs, and teach you more sophisticated fused glass construction techniques. The course cost of £180 per person includes:
