This course introduces beginners to the exciting possibilities of warm glass, using fusing techniques to form glass in the kiln. With a focus on colour and texture, you will be making small glass decorations.
Martin is a master of fused glass mosaics and, by popular demand, has on hand hundreds of fused glass pieces to choose from that you can experiment with in your own creations during this workshop.
By the end of the day, you will have created a number of glass fusions. In producing this work, you will have learnt how to cut glass and the tutor will also explain what happens to the glass during the firing cycle and glass compatibility.
You will learn simple glass cutting to cutting straight lines, circles and strips.
Timetable for one day courses
Students should arrive by 9am for registration.
Classes are from 9.15 - 5pm
Lunch is included.
Martin Cheek has been making mosaics for over 30 years and is the author of seven best selling books on the subject. He hand makes every piece of fused glass for his mosaics, each batch sometimes requiring several firings in the kiln to get it right. There is always some mystery in what the glass will do in the metamorphic process of heat.
