Join local glass artist, Rachael Durkan from The Glass Cabin at 10am or 1pm for one of her popular fused glass workshops where you can make your own unique and beautiful item for yourself or as a gift.
Choose between "miniatures" or "panel". Both options are available at both the morning and afternoon workshops, but we must know your selection in advance.

Miniatures - the chance to select up to 3 "miniatures" to create your very own collection of fused glass. Some of the shapes available include birds, hearts,  fish, rainbows and mini balloons.

Panel - you have the option of making a larger Bristol balloon, flower panel or freestyle hanging. 

Suitable for complete beginners as well as those who’ve caught the fused glass bug!

You will have 2 hours to create your masterpiece, using a variety of pre-cut glass and glass accessories in an array of beautiful colours. There will be plenty of templates to choose from or you can create your own design. Rachael will have lots of ideas to inspire you and is on hand with design advice throughout the workshop.

Join Brenda from The Pottery Shed in this afternoon taster workshop where you'll create your own masterpiece in a relaxed atmosphere with professional help and guidance.

During the afternoon, you'll try hand building techniques (no wheel work) where you'll come away with a 15cm in diameter and about 8cm
in height. You'll then add a glaze to the outside of the pot and 'Sgraffito' into the glaze, adding a pattern of your choice.
Your pots will then be kept to be fired and you will be contacted a few weeks later to advise when they are ready to collect from the main barn.

Brenda is very generously donating all proceeds from this workshop to Winterbourne Medieval Barn for which we are very grateful.
