This 3hr course is specifically aimed at those new to glass fusing, with kilns, who are struggling to get started. I will show you how to use and take care of it properly, and take the fear out of it. We’ll discuss how a firing program works (we’ll look at full fuse, tack fuse and slump) and when to use them. We will also look at design and construction techniques for glass, along with the technical information you need to understand them. We will troubleshoot common issues beginners experience, including cracks, needling and incompatibility. I will explain the differences between System 96 and Bullseye glasses, what COE means and the best places to buy your materials. All students will have the opportunity to send me questions ahead of the session and participate in discussion during the course, to ensure you leave with all the answers you need.

You will also receive a recording of the video call for you to refer back to and two weeks of email support from me if you need it.

This online course will be hosted on Zoom, and I will email you the link and a page of firing guides that we will be working on a few days before the course takes place.

Please note courses run on London time.
