Students ‘End of Year’ Slideshow

Classes, Workshops and Courses 2012 to 2013

Its been a great year of workshops, classes and courses held at the studio.  It has been a mix of stained glass and fused glass and the standard of work has been very good.

Many of the students have returned to enrol on another course throughout the year and this shows from their high standard of craft skills and their unique designs.  I have put together a selection of photos of glasswork from the students and participants of the past year.
