This afternoon our Wolverhampton glass artist Suzie from Suzie Lavender Contemporary Glass will be teaching a session of fused glass making techniques. This workshop is suitable for adult beginners or as a refresher course. Your workshop ticket also entitles you to full entry to the Manor and Gardens.
You have a choice to make one of these three items
Sailboat! A unique and beautiful 2D glass sail using glass pieces, glass frits, powders. You will be able to choose from the selection of glass accessories to create a sail in a colour scheme of your choice. The Sails will be fired by Suzie and mounted in a wooden boat shaped base following the workshop.
Platters! Create a unique glass dish to have pride of place in your home. You will learn about slumping glass and choose the overall shape and colour scheme of your design.
Curves! Choose this option and you will be able to design and create a standing wave shaped curve, these look fantastic on windowsills and shelves. You will learn about slumping glass and choose the overall shape and colour scheme of your design.
Each participant will be able to choose from a selection of glass accessories to create their design. Perfect for gifts or to keep for yourself!
