In this workshop Sally will guide you through making a patchwork candle holder. You will have access to a wide choice of colours in transparent glass to design your candle holder. You will learn how to cut glass and make the pieces fit together and you will have access to all of the tools and safety equipment necessary to make your beautiful creations.
After the workshop your pieces will be transported to Sally’s studio where they will be fired twice in her kiln. They will be ready within 10 days of the workshop and can be collected from Moulton or posted out to you for the cost of the postage.

About the tutor
Sally is a glass artist from Northamptonshire. She has always loved the vibrancy of glass and loves to experiment with designs and techniques. There are so many things to make, different techniques to learn, firing schedules to develop the possibilities for experimentation are endless. Sometimes experiments work out and lovely unusual pieces are created, other times they don’t! The great thing about fusible glass is that failed experiments can be recycled into new things so there is no waste.
Sally loves to share her knowledge and has several ideas for future workshops.

“I met Sally by chance at a Christmas craft Fair just over a year ago.We were opposite each other selling our glassware.
Myself, well I was just stepping into the world of glass fusing and I was in awe of the fabulous range of glass gifts Sally had on display.
After a few chats during the afternoon I asked Sally if she would offer me some advice on mastering new techniques and developing my skills further and so I attended a one to one session to see her workshop and see where the magic happens.
Sally spoke with enthusiasm and passion about her craft and it was wonderful to hear her mother also enjoyed it too. She spoke in detail about all the different methods and the various tools and equipment required for various techniques and tasks. I came away feeling confident and excited about all I had learned and was looking forward to putting it all into practice.
Sally continues to keep in regular contact with me, she shows a keen interest in how I am progressing and is such a wonderful support to me as a newbie in the glass world.
I couldn’t recommend Sally enough, she is pure ‘glass’!”
