In project 1 you can create either a small wall hanging, coasters, sun catcher or a wind chime.

In project 2 you will learn techniques to design your own sheet of art glass. This will then be used to form a slumped bowl or platter. Suitable moulds will be discussed and prepared for this process as the technique will include two firings.

These will be taken away for firing in a kiln and will be returned to The Base for you to collect after the workshop.

Duration: 11am - 5pm
