Fusing Workshop at Studio 8, WASPS Studios,
February 26, 2011 to February 27, 2011
Fusing glass together with heat is a wonderful experience. Cut and arrange the glass, place it in the kiln overnight and view a transformed piece of work the next morning! This decorative glass technique has immediate appeal and great versatility. The workshop combines two of the most popular forms of kiln working - fusing and slumping to give you either dramatic or subtle colours and shapes for the house or garden.You will prepare a number of tests on the first day, using a variety of…See More
