Whether you’ve never taught before and want to try your hand at sharing your skills or you’re an experienced teacher wanting to refresh your offering and connect with new students, with this course I aim to offer lots of logistical and practical advice to help you set up or establish your practice as a glass fusing teacher.

I will cover:

Tools, equipment and studio set up

Risk assessments, responsibilities and insurance

Identifying and connecting with your student base

Designing and formatting courses

Example Lesson Plans

Administration and Costing

Creating visual aids

Identifying how students learn and teaching responsively

Creating a safe and creative atmosphere

Essential technical knowledge of glass fusing and kiln use

I have been designing and teaching courses at professional and casual venues, both in-person and online, since 2013. I try to be intuitive and person-centred in my approach, and recognise that artists teach and students sign up for courses for a huge range of reasons. Understanding your own teaching aims and intentions will be key to building your course offering and identifying who your students are, and is something we will work on during the course.

This course is presentation/discussion based and will be hosted on Zoom. I will email you one week prior to the course date with your Zoom link. This course will be limited to 10 students to ensure individual support and time to ask questions.

Please note courses run on London time.
