Course review:
This 1-day course is a practical hands-on experience giving you the skills and knowledge to make your own work. You will go away with lots of samples of different techniques. No previous experience with glass is required, however if you have worked with fused glass before you will still be taught lots of new skills. Once you have worked through the exercises to produce your samples, you will finish by putting all your skills together to make a square dish.
