Glass Enamelling

Discover the ancient art of glass enamelling – painting with powdered glass to create stunning decorative effects that are fired permanently onto your glass pieces.

Glass enamelling lets you add beautiful colours, intricate patterns, and artistic details to clear or coloured glass. Using specially formulated glass powders mixed with oils, you’ll learn to paint everything from delicate floral motifs to bold contemporary designs. When fired in the kiln, these powders melt and fuse to create a permanent, lustrous finish that’s both beautiful and durable.

This versatile technique works wonderfully on its own or combined with other glass methods – perfect for adding the finishing touches to fused glass panels, decorating stained glass windows, or creating unique standalone pieces.

Our courses cover everything from basic brush techniques and colour mixing to advanced firing schedules and special effects. With small class sizes and Jennifer’s expert guidance, you’ll have plenty of time to experiment and develop your own style in our peaceful countryside studio.

No previous experience needed – just come ready to explore this magical process where heat transforms simple glass powders into permanent works of art.
