CoURSE Description
Kick off your weekend with a splash of creativity!
Join us for a textured glass-fusing workshop where the vibes are as bright as the glass. Under the expert guidance of Jen and Karen, you will design and create a stunning, highly textured wave crest.
Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned glass enthusiast, you’ll find this process “waves” of fun. We provide all the “scrumptious” glass colours and pre-cut shapes you need to build your masterpiece. Once your design is finished, we’ll tuck it into the kiln to work its magic!
But this isn’t your average quiet classroom. We’ll be cranking up the disco music, so feel free to dance while you design! To make it a true party, this is a BYOB event—bring a bottle and your favourite nibbles to share with friends.
Display Options:
-
The Wave: Your fused glass circle is approximately 20 cm in diameter.
-
The Stand: You can choose to add a beautiful solid oak stand during checkout for an additional £25 (bringing the total height to approximately 22cm). These look incredible when the sunlight hits them!
-
The Hang: Prefer it on the wall or in a window? Just let us know, and we can add a hook for you to hang your wave instead.
FAQs
Q: What should I wear?
A: Just comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dusty, and closed-toe shoes (nothing open like sandals or flip-flops). Avoid loose sleeves if possible, but we have elastic bands if needed.
Q: What's included in the course price?
A: Everything you need – all glass, tools, kiln firing, safety equipment, tea and coffee throughout the day, and biscuits. You just need to bring yourself! The only extra would be if you want to make additional pieces beyond what’s included in the course.
Q: Do I take my finished pieces home the same day?
For fusing courses, no – your pieces need to go in the kiln, so you can collect them when they’re ready (usually a week or so later) or we can post them to you but we really don’t recommend postage because glass is easily broken in the post. You can choose postage at your own risk, we charge a minimum of £8 (depending on the size of the piece) to cover postage cost & packaging.
For stained glass, copper foiling and other non-fusing courses, yes – you take them home at the end of the course.
Q: What if I don't finish my piece?
A: Don’t worry, we build in enough time for everyone to complete their projects. Jennifer keeps an eye on everyone’s progress. If you’re a bit slower, that’s fine – we’d rather you do it properly than rush.
Q: Is lunch provided?
A: We provide tea, coffee, and biscuits throughout the day, but not lunch. You’re welcome to bring sandwiches to eat in our comfy break area or outside if the weather’s nice, or there are plenty of nice pubs & cafes approx 1 mile away in the centre of Frodsham.
Q: How do I find you?
A: We’re pretty easy to find – just off the main road between Frodsham and Kingsley. We’re upstairs in the Barn at Bradley Farm Stables (look out for the horses 🙂 )
