Glass Fusing Slumping - Beach Huts or Sea Themed Curved Art
One day workshops with Jenny Timms & Mike Caddy

"I love these courses. It is a very calming environment and the tutorials very well explained." - Sarah C

Slumped Glass Fusing Tack-Fusing - creating curved glass forms with texture, for beginners and those with some glass fusing experience.

On this workshop you'll learn how to create beautiful, textured fused glass art, combining glass sheets, glass frit, crushed glass, enamel pens and stringers.

You can choose to make two curved freestanding art curves like the S-shaped pieces shown - using two sheets of fusible glass as your starting point. The theme for this workshop is beach huts or cute houses - both popular styles all year round.

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 hobby!

Slumping involves adding form to fused glass after its initial firing. You'll create the flat forms for your projects first, and after the first tack firing these will be 'slump-fired' in to the mould.
Once cooled your pieces will be ready for collection!

This class will equip you to create your own further slumped fused glass designs, and teach you more sophisticated fused glass construction techniques. We include a discussion on the firing schedules required for these two different processes for those interested in the more technical aspects.

We'll ask you to do some research for design ideas so you'll get maximum benefit from your time with us. We'll provide guidance on this, if needed.

The starting point for projects on this class is a base layer of COE 90 clear fusible glass, 24cm long; you'll have time to make two projects.

After learning to cut basic shapes from coloured glass and placed those pieces to form the basis of your design, ou'll place frit and other materials, use enamel pens and build up your pieces, ready for the first firing.
The skills you've learned on our beginner's fusing class will come in handy here, although this workshop is perfect for beginners too!
