Description
Light up your creativity with the Fused Glass Lantern workshop – a one-day experience where you will design and create four stunning fused glass panels to fit inside a decorative lantern. Perfect for complete beginners as well as those with some creative experience, this workshop is a vibrant introduction to the colourful world of fused glass. Guided by expert tutors, you will learn the techniques of glass cutting, layering, and arranging from a wide selection of coloured glass elements. Each panel can be as bold, abstract, or nature-inspired as you wish, giving you the freedom to create designs that reflect your own style. Once your panels are complete, they will be professionally kiln-fired after the workshop and returned to you ready for assembly into your own custom lantern – a piece that is both functional and artistic. With a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, this course offers plenty of time to explore texture, light, and colour at your own pace. The end result is a beautiful handmade lantern, perfect for adding a personal touch to your home or garden.
