This course seeks to broaden the range and enhance the palette of techniques of the studio glassmaker and to encourage the development of a strong personal style. Some previous experience with glass is essential. You will begin with a series of short projects designed to encourage you to experiment with new forms and ways of working. This will naturally lead to an integration of new knowledge into personal work. This method seeks to form the foundation of an ongoing studio practice whether it is architectural, sculptural or vessel based. Research into other areas of art and design is strongly encouraged for inspiration and to develop a greater understanding of the work in its contemporary and historical context.

Course programme
The course is structured in a series of projects to personalised briefs. These are designed to allow you to explore new ways of thinking and working that will become integrated into your individual practice. Techniques covered include core casting, mosaic, slumping and pate de verre, cold working methods such as sandblasting, grinding and polishing and assembly techniques such as UV bonding. This will culminate with an exhibition. Here you will be asked to present a body of work that demonstrates craft skills combined with original ideas that grow from your research and hands on experimentation.
