Spend a day learning how to make beautiful dichroic glass jewellery. The workshop is designed to give you a basic idea of the cutting, layup and fusing processes, with comprehensive notes supplied. The emphasis is on actually having a go and producing some beautiful pieces for you or for gifts. The pieces will be fired after the session and then we will discuss how you want them made up. Your finished creations can then be posted on to you or you can arrange to collect them. Many students get the glass bug and come back again for another session! You will leave the class with a basic knowledge of the craft, if you wish to take it up as a hobby, or just relax and enjoy the therapeutic effect of free creativity!
