Fused Glass Art for Beginners

Fused Glass Art for Beginners, Inspired by Nature.

A brief introduction, by Jazz, to glass fusing and the days project.  We will then need to prepare the clay slabs that we will use to create our designs. Once the clay is rolled there will be a time to wander around the cutting garden and gather some specimens to use in your designs.  We will use our gathered plant material to press into the clay and create our designs. We will then mix up a plaster mix and cover the clay to create the relief design.

This is a messy workshop and we will give you to wear, an apron and a mask whilst we are mixing up the plaster.  We will leave our plaster to harden whilst we enjoy our lunch.

After lunch you will return to your mold. You will need to remove the clay from the plaster and clean up the mold. You will then select your coloured glass for your piece and add any coloured accents.
