Come along to this special Christmas Edition of my popular paperweights class! Designed for complete beginners, or those who have done a little fused glass before, you will be taken through the process to create a multi layered glass paperweight or set of tree decorations using glass moulds. You will be led step by step through the process, including glass cutting, designing, filling and decorating your mould with colourful Bullseye Powders, Frits and Stringers. It's up to you whether you wish to make something with a Christmas theme, or something completely different!
 
You can choose to make one larger (15cm diameter) two smaller paperweights (10cm diameter) or around 6 smaller decorations. Some technical information will be provided so you understand the process, but this is definitely still a fun and informal class!
 
Items will be fused in a kiln then returned by post. Course fee includes postage. Tea/coffee/Juice will be served

About your teacher!
A self confessed glass geek, Shelagh is a very experienced tutor, having taught both painting and glass internationally as well as in her own studio in Aberdeen (formerly known as Oil and Glass) since 2012. In 2013 Bullseye Glass (the manufacturers of the glass you will use in this session) invited Shelagh to their factory in Portland, Oregon, where she completed a week long instructors course. She absolutely adores teaching, and always makes sure that her sessions are very informative, but also lots of fun!
