Description
NEW Fused Glass Workshop – Contemporary Sculptures
Thurs 21st May – 2-4pm – £145 all inclusive for a garden sculpture, if you want just the glass panel or an alternative display method, it is less but we need to discuss your ideas!
I want to share my 18+ years of experience with you. This fused glass workshop is held at my Derbyshire studio and gallery space in the middle of Wirksworth near Matlock.
About this fused glass workshop
Cut and layer pieces of colourful glass with some extra special sparkle to create your own glass panel approx 30x10cm. Learn to cut sheet glass and build varying gradients of colour in the fun and experimental session. The result, a unique piece of glass art.
You could keep your panel as a slab of glass and display/mount in your home (I’m happy to advise about wall mounts etc) or, as this workshop was originally designed, leave your panel with me to mount into treated wood, and affix metal legs, ready for you to place in your garden, for all year round colour.
Simply complete your design during the session and leave it at the studio for me to fire, finish and clean up for you. We will make arrangements to pick up a approx 3 weeks later.
I will talk through all the Health & Safety in the session but I want you to know now, you will be handling precut glass pieces, they have pointy ends but with the right handling, they won’t hurt you. Recommended for ages 13+, all under 16s to be accompanied by a paying adult.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss any queries you may have, big or small and make sure to find me on Instagram and facebook to keep up to date with all the sparkles and to see images of previous students works.
Book with friends or come on your own for a supportive and fun creative fused glass workshop experience. All fused glass workshop attendees receive a 10% discount on purchases from the gallery shop on the day, just a little way I can say thank you for joining me!
Things to bring with you:
- A bottle of water or travel cup of coffee/tea
- An apron or old clothes so you don’t have to worry about getting glue or other materials on them
- Pictures or images that inspire you
- An open mind and willingness to experiment

Venue: Create Space Studio & Gallery, 27 Market Place, Wirksworth, Matlock DE4 4ET
My studio ship doesn’t have a purpose built w.c, I managed to get basic facilities put in but they are only hidden behind a curtain…. not ideal but there if needed. There are a number of independent cafés, restaurants and pubs who would welcome some extra business though.
