Description
This fabulous new course is all about texture and a celebration of treasures found on the beach.
On this course you have a choice of either making a wall panel or a shallow bowl.
Using cast shells, fossils and creating seaweed and driftwood from other refractory materials you will enjoy creating a composition which is timeless and hugely tactile. These pieces never fail to impress as they capture luminosity and refract detail using a slightly green tinted glass.
When does the course start and finish? This course runs from 1pm until 3.30pm

Your Tutor: Jennifer Barker – Lead Instructor & Founder
Jennifer has been working with glass for over 30 years, having discovered her passion for the medium while studying at Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Universities, where she completed a BA and MA in Glass.
Her expertise spans the full spectrum of glass techniques – from delicate kiln-formed pieces to large architectural installations. Jennifer’s specialist areas include kiln-formed glass, surface manipulation, and kiln-casting, but she’s equally passionate about traditional techniques like stained glass and copper foiling. For 12 years, Jennifer was Head of the Glass Department at Glyndwr University, where she discovered that teaching glass art was almost as addictive as making it.
What sets Jennifer apart as an instructor is her genuine love for sharing knowledge. She believes that anyone can learn to work with glass beautifully – it just takes the right guidance, encouragement, and plenty of hands-on practice.
