Slumping and Fusing (beginners)



Tutor: Ann Pengelly (Website)

We will cut and fuse glass together and then slump or sag it into moulds. Technical information on kilns and kiln firing temperatures as well as health and safety will be covered. Projects may include coasters, clocks, bowls, plates or jewellery. Items will be fired overnight, and will need to cool, so collection will be necessary at a later date, or postage can be arranged, if you are not taking both classes.

Requirements list
Notebook and pencil
