Fused Glass Taster Workshops

Learn about working with fused glass in this relaxing 2-hour taster workshop with glass artist and tutor, Katherine Wilson.

Create a unique tile or light catcher using coloured sheet glass and a wide range of accessory glass to bring your design to life. Katherine will then take away your piece for firing and return it to the Attenborough Arts Centre around a week later for you to collect (collection date will be confirmed at the workshop).

No experience of working with glass is needed so this is a great introduction to this fascinating craft.

At the end of the workshop you will have an understanding of how to design and assemble glass for fusing, a finished piece ready for firing, and maybe a new passion for working with glass to be continued!

Tutor Katherine has been a practicing glass designer/maker for 15 years and shares her passion for working with glass by delivering workshops at an introductory and more advanced level in glass fusing, copper foiling and traditional stained-glass panel making.

This 2 hour workshop will start at 10:30am or 1:30pm (depending on which session you book).

Our café will be open on the day or you are welcome to bring your own refreshments.
