Fragment Fused Glass Full-Day Workshop

Practitioner: Helen Tiffany

Friday 29 January | 10am - 5pm

Manchester Craft and Design Centre

In this new class, Helen will share her process of glass fusing with recycled glass and guide you in making your own large platter or mini collection of bowls and decorations.

This full-day workshop focuses on glass cutting, construction and work with powdered glass in a range of colours to create uniquely patterned and textured pieces. You will be shown how to cut glass and prepare it for the kiln, and learn special techniques to create new glass from reclaimed fragments. The longer class will give you the opportunity to get into the meditative process and create larger or more complex pieces.

The session runs from 10am to 5pm (approx.) and includes an hour break for lunch, where participants can visit the craft centre cafe or make their own arrangements. Hot drinks and snacks are provided throughout the day.

After the workshop, your 30cm platter or collection of pieces will be kiln-fired to fuse and shape your glass. They will be ready within a month for studio collection or posted, which can be paid for on the day (£5)
