Join us for a unique two-day glass course for autumn, covering both glass fusing and casting techniques, to create your own stunning statement piece for your home. You’ll have the choice to make either a large decorative bowl, a medium bowl plus coasters, or a beautiful window hanging—all incorporating delicate glass leaves you’ve cast yourself from real foliage. You’ll be guided step-by-step through the process by expert glass artist Jazz Dixon. This course takes place across two days -Tuesday October 6th and 13th. Day 1 – 6th October: The day starts with an introduction to glass fusing and casting. After discussing the project options and having time to think about your own creative ideas, you’ll use fresh leaves – either ones you have brought with you or ones from an array that Jazz will provide – to create highly detailed moulds. Once your moulds are set and cleaned, you will fill these with glass powders and prepare them for firing. Jazz will take your moulds away and fire them after day 1. Day 2 – 13th October: You’ll be reunited with your fired moulds and you will gently remove your paper-thin glass leaves. Then you’ll assemble your statement piece: a large bowl, a medium bowl with 2 coasters, or a window hanging. With a choice of base glass and added decorative powders, your design will be entirely your own. Final pieces will be taken away for firing and you can then either collect your work, or it can be posted to you.

Fused Bowls and Vases with Jazz Dixon

@ Standard Price Immerse yourself in the beauty of summer blooms and use them as your inspiration to create a unique statement glass piece for your home, whether you decide to make a large bowl, platter or vase. You will be welcomed with refreshments before spending the first part of the morning walking around the beautiful flower fields observing and drawing some of the amazing flowers. This part of the day will help develop your ideas for your own glass piece. Time will then be spent creating some simple guided sketches, taking time to observe the shape and colours of the flowers. Jazz will then give you a brief talk and introduction to fused glass and the range of materials available before moving on to designing your own unique statement glass piece. This can be a square platter 30cm x 30cm, a glass bowl 30cm diameter, or a glass vase approximately 25cm tall. Jazz will guide you through the practicalities of the design process and show you how to incorporate the ideas from your sketches. After breaking for lunch (please bring a packed lunch with you), you will create your design using a wide range of coloured accessory glass, all under Jazz’s expert guidance. Your finished design will be taken away and fired. It will be available for collection from West Sussex or East Sussex, or we can arrange for your piece to be posted to you in approx. 3 weeks.
