| Glass Fusion |
| A fantastic workshop on the art of glass fusion - using pieces of glass to create beautiful pictures. You will be shown how to cut glass and use stringers and frit to create your own design. This will then be taken away and fired in a glass kiln and your finished piece will be ready to collect from the Craft Centre approximately one week later (this will be confirmed during the course). A beautifully effective craft that everyone can do. It is suitable for both complete beginners and those who have attended a course in the past. More experienced practitioners can work on a project of their own choice during the session. All materials will be provided. January Class: The theme will be a framed heart design - the price of the class includes the frame
