I’m making an exciting shift in my studio practice and taking a break from teaching the one‑day stained glass workshops.

I’m focusing on the magic of kiln‑fired Glass Fusing Experiences, relaxed, creative morning workshops where you can play with colour, light and texture, and make something truly unique.

✨ Next Glass Fusing Workshop: Saturday 23rd May (Bank Holiday weekend) create a beautiful fused glass Heart. ✨ All the details are on the Boutique Glass Fusing Experiences Manchester page.

Glass fusing is a wonderfully accessible way to explore glass art. No experience needed just curiosity. Every fused piece is unique, so your creation will be truly one‑of‑a‑kind.

Each workshop takes place in my Hope Mill studio in Ancoats (part of AWOL studios), with a small group of just four people, so there’s plenty of guidance and support.

You’ll design and make your own piece using the templates I provide, little birds, hearts, coasters, hanging suncatchers or a small trinket dish, depending on the session.

You’ll learn how to cut and shape glass and use colourful decorations such as frit, stringers, dots and tiny Murano pieces (like slices of candy rock).

Your finished pieces will be fired in the kiln, available for collection within two weeks, or can be returned to you.

Alongside teaching, I’ll also be spending more time on my own glass projects, developing my skills in traditional fired glass painting something I’m really excited about.

If you’d like to see what glass fusing looks like, have a look at @glassfusing.manchester to see the beautiful pieces people have created in my workshops.

I’d love to welcome you to a fusing session soon it’s a joyful, colourful way to spend a morning and create something you’ll be proud of. Booking information for Boutique Fused Glass experiences
