Glass is a wonderful and versatile material. It is possible to assemble pieces in
imaginative patterns and fuse them together into beautiful "gems" which make fascinating jewellery items.
On one of our one-day courses you will make many "jewels", experimenting with different types and colours of
glass (including dichroic glass, which gives gorgeous metallic effects). When you find a favourite design you can
make a set of jewellery (earrings and a pendant, for instance) and you will also learn how to attach
"findings" (jewellery accessories such as bails for pendants, or earring posts) to them.
Lampwork (Glass Bead-Making) Courses
Glass can be used to make beautiful beads which can be assembled into necklaces and bracelets, or combined with fused
glass 'jewels' into more complex pieces. Our courses will introduce you to the basics of lampwork (using a gas
blow-torch to melt glass and form beads in any number of fascinating designs). You will be able to make several
beads of different shapes and colours to take home.
We run our Glass Jewellery courses on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays and you can do either technique on any
of those days. Please see below for the specific dates.
We run our Stained Glass courses on the Saturday and Sunday before the
Monday Jewellery courses, and also on the Thursday and Friday between the Jewellery weekday and weekend courses,
so that if you wish to do all four courses, it is possible to take them over a single 4-day period (or 5 days
during the week, with a day off on Wednesday).
