Colmers Hill Glass Light 25th April

Workshop/ Course Description

Saturday 25th April 10am - 12.30 OR 1.30pm - 4pm Click Book now, then select the time you want to come. Today you will be creating your own Colmers Hill light catcher We will talk you through some design hints and tips – you will have the opportunity to try out several styles and effects. You will get a comprehensive lesson in the cutting and layering of glass. Even if you have never cut glass deliberately before, you will soon be confidently cutting and creating your own design. Don’t worry if you are not a confident artist, glass lends itself to simple bold designs which really work well with our local iconic landmark. For the more accomplished artists it is a really fun way of trying out a new medium and exploring light and colour. We have a range of different tools to help you master your own technique we keep a small range of precut pieces plus crushed glass to help you complete your masterpiece. We can return your piece as a single flat panel, and you can decide how you wish to display it. If you would like to include copper hanging fittings we can set those into the glass during the firing, we can also curve your panel into a free standing curve which will look amazing on a sunny windowsill or with a candle behind. Booking £30 for the place, materials on the day £15 (if you are a fast worker or favour very simple designs and find yourself with a little extra time, there may be an opportunity to purchase further materials/kiln space to make additional items)
