You will learn the fundamentals of flameworking, also known as lampworking, with demonstrations and plenty of practice time, working from your own torch. Our experienced tutor will guide you through the technique; introduce you to flameworking tools and equipment; the types and properties of glass; styles of flameworking; and how to keep it safe. You will have plenty of opportunity to express your creativity with the colour and design of your beads and in the afternoon the chance to explore a more sculptural item. Your glass items will need to cool overnight in a kiln and can either be collected at a later time or posted on to you. Flameworking glass is both an accessible and addictive technique ideally suited to beginners with an interest in creating with glass. All materials, tools and equipment are provided.

Flameworking with Boro

Course Outline Join us for an introduction to flameworking with borosilicate or 'hard glass' – an ideal glass for jewellery, sculpture or scientific glassmaking. On this one-day taster session, you will experiment with a range of techniques, using a torch to manipulate solid clear glass borosilicate rods: Melting (gathering) rounded globes Stretching and pulling stringers and adding glass Linking rods to form chains Using rods to create sculptural components The forms you make can stay as separate examples of the technique, or you can join them together to form a small sculptural piece. Skills learned in this class will enable you to further explore the potential of flameworking glass. Notes: Borosilicate or 'hard glass', is more durable, copes well with temperature changes, and is less prone to cracking, than 'soft glass' which is commonly used to make beads. The melting temperature of boro is higher than regular glass and so the techniques involved and outcomes offer an alternative to soft glass flameworking.

Traditional Glass Painting

"I just wanted to say what an absolutely fantastic day I had on the 12th on Kerry's glass painting  class.  Kerry explains everything so well and with infinite patience and really opened my eyes to new techniques. She is an amazing teacher and the class was brilliant." PaoloTraditional Glass PaintingCourse Outline Discover the traditional skill of painting on glass using vitreous glass paints and specialised brushes. In this one day course you will paint a number of samples and a finished piece to practise a variety of lining, shading and sgraffito techniques. The pieces will be fired overnight. Painted pieces from this course can be brought along and incorporated in our 2 day Leading and Glazing course. Please note: due to the paint pigment containing lead this course is not suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Profile - Kerry Collison Kerry trained in stained glass at Swansea College of Art and has worked on commercial glazing projects as part of the Cathedral Studios, Canterbury and the Architectural Glass Centre, Swansea. Kerry’s personal work illustrates mischief and anarchy into controlled glass material; focusing on using traditional skills to produce fun and contemporary artworks. She is intent on bringing the comic book back to its original format: the stained glass window. Her pieces have been shown in numerous exhibitions, including the 6th John Ruskin Prize.
