Upcoming events
Saturday 6th June, 10.00 - 1pm
Join Georgia Collins from Harestanes Glass Studio for a taster session to learn the basics of glass fusing. Suitable for absolute beginners, you will get to work with glass and compatible products, such as crushed glass and pulled thin glass stringers, to create fused glass panels to decorate a lantern.
Learn how to use the tools, cut glass using different tools, how to apply texture using crushed glass, details using enamels or thin glass stringers, and pre-fired glass rondels to add details such as flowers or abstract shapes.
Georgia will lead you through the process, demonstrate how to use the tools and equipment and help you to create your own panels for your lantern. You could choose to create abstract lines, or shapes with colour blocking, or a delicate flower garden, the creativity is up to you!

About the artist: Hi, I’m Georgia. I’m a glass artist who runs a glass studio with my Mum Rachel. After studying design at University, I returned to my ‘glass roots’ and have been creating, restoring and teaching glass on a full time basis for the last 6 years. My work is mostly inspired by the natural world, in particular flora and fauna, but also land and seascapes.
I work primarily in leaded light panels or Tiffany style copper foiling, but also work with traditional glass painting using stains and enamels as well as more contemporary glass fusing.
