Bring a friend (or a few!) - it is great fun to have fellow learners to bounce ideas off and you can book a date and time to suit you. In 1.5 hours you can usually make approx 2-3 items including 1 small piece like jewellery and then a larger piece eg: coasters, hanging panels, tree decorations etc. &nbsp;The one-off lesson is suitable for people who want to learn the basic techniques of a new craft which might lead to a new hobby and if you are interested I can talk you through the equipment needed etc. Or you can just come to try something new and enjoy the creative experience. It is a great gift idea for someone who enjoys trying new things!&nbsp;</p><p id="isPasted" style="color: rgb(60, 60, 60); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(60, 60, 60);">Glass fusing is where pieces of coloured glass are cut and layered, put into a kiln and fused together to make jewellery, coasters or decorative window hangings (sun-catchers) etc. Glass comes in many forms and cutting is not always needed and you don&#39;t need any artistic ability! I provide plenty of ideas for inspiration.&nbsp;</p><p id="isPasted" style="color: rgb(60, 60, 60); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(60, 60, 60);">Here is the detail:&nbsp;</p><p id="isPasted" style="color: rgb(60, 60, 60); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(60, 60, 60);">&bull; 1-1 or 1-2 or 1-3 etc. tuition can be arranged at a time to suit you throughout the year. The more people in the booking, the price reduces per person. Your booking is for a private class and you won&#39;t be mixing with others.
