Fused Glass Workshops

Carole has taught fused glass workshops at Gore Tree Studios since September 2018. Each workshop is designed for beginners/improvers to learn new skills and techniques in a friendly rural setting. Small classes ensure you get lots of individual tuition.

During the day, you will learn the basic aspects of glass fusing - how to cut glass, about the different types and qualities of fusing glass, firing schedules and be encouraged to create your masterpiece.

You will be able to make one or two fused glass pieces (e.g. small wave/curve, coaster, small dish or suncatcher or piece of jewellery).

All tools and glass will be provided. You may have your own creative ideas, if not, I have sample projects/ideas you can try.

Each glass piece will need to be fired in the kiln for 24 hours to fuse the glass and if a shape is required (wave/curve/dish) the piece will need to be fired again for 24 hours to slump. Your glass pieces will be available for collection 10 to 14 days after the workshop.

Workshops run from 10:30 - 16:00

£75 (plus £5 if slumping required and/or £5 for findings and glue for jewellery)

£20 deposit required

There will be breaks for refreshments and lunch (please bring packed lunch). Please wear comfortable clothing, closed toe shoes are required... and bring your enthusiasm!

Thanks Carole for a fabulous day. Great fun, and really interesting to do the 2 quite different pieces

It was a very enjoyable and informative introduction to glass fusion - in a short time you are at the work bench cutting glass & designing your first piece of glasswork fantastic !!

Last week I went to a workshop that brought back a love of creating that has been missing in my life the last few years. Had such fun making a Christmas light holder and I can't wait til the next chance of going to another of Carole's workshops, I recommend it!
