Glass Fusing Course

[prink13]

Hiya, two weeks ago, I went on a glass fusing and slumping course, in Bristol - it was fantastic, I'm now so enthused that his is what I want to do now, I had so much fun, learnt so much and thouroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

I thought that I'd share with you some of the items that I made;

1st = pair of tiles, one with clear glass on the top and coloured glass on the bottom, the other the opposite way round

2nd = Fused and Slumped bowl, layer of clear glass sandwiching a layer of coloured glass, then slumped into a mould

3rd = little coaster, made for my sailing friend, who let me stay at his house during the course

Any comments gratefully received - esp. form any ex-glass makers, or anyone who might know of a cheap glass kiln!!! ;D

You didn't tell me that you were going to do something so exciting in Bristol :)
Glad you enjoyed the course and the photos look great, imagine just after a short course you can turn out interesting things. Well done Kathi.

What a great hobby. Not just a pastime, something you can actually put to good use and have fun too. (Maybe even make a few bob.) Nice one.
