Fused Glass Trinket Dishes

This inspirational half day workshop allows you to design and create two unique fused glass trinket dishes.

Using two different methods you will create a square dish using small glass mosaic pieces which will be placed onto a square base.

Both pieces will be taken away and fused, and then made into a bowl by a process known as 'slumping'.

A selection of transparent, opaque and patterned glass will be available for you to choose from. Examples will be available for reference and inspiration.

Your pieces will be fired in the kiln and then  posted to you approximately one week later for an additional small fee which is payable on the day of the workshop.
