Glass Fusing Workshop (Intermediate Level) – 20/07/2024

Glass Fusing Workshop (Intermediate to Advanced) on the 20th July 2024

Glass designer & maker Paul Floyd will lead a morning session on glass fusing. The intermediate/advanced workshops will allow you to explore the techniques of fused glass as a creative medium. Within the workshop you will build on your skills with cutting glass to a pattern and working with coloured sheet glass, frits, pebbles and stringers.

We have a selection of designs available for you to choose, but we also encourage you to bring your own design/pattern or inspiration to these more advanced classes.

You will create an original piece of glasswork and can make either a 20cm square panel, a 15cm x 30cm landscape panel that can be formed into a freestanding glass piece or a medium-sized square platter bowl 20cm².

Your glasswork will be fused and formed into a shape and available for collection a week later.  Postage can be arranged for your glasswork for an extra charge to cover P&P.  Only 4 people per workshop for maximum individual attention.

  • Time: 10am till 1:30pm
  • Costs: £55 (includes all materials and fusing)
  • Venue: Transparent Glass Studio, Ruskin Glass Centre, Wollaston Road, Stourbridge, DY8 4HE

‘Still Life’ Stained Glass Commission

This week we have been designing and making a stained glass panel inspired by a previous project called ‘Still Life’.

The stained glass design is a composition of wine glass, wine bottle and carafe.


There are several handmade elements within the panel;  including blown, diamond-wheel cut & etched glass.  All adding to the bespoke and unique nature of the commissioned glasswork.


The panel has been commissioned by a local business as a retirement present for one of their longstanding employees.

The stained glass will be installed into a wooden free-standing frame, made in oak.

Stained Glass Workshop

On Saturday we held a one day workshop in stained glass.  The students learnt the basics of the craft, which gave them a taster of the processes involved in creating a leaded panel.  Designs were either chosen on the day or developed before the session.  Some of the participants had previous knowledge and skills of glass cutting and were able to undertake more complex patterns.  The students worked well, with a busy and focused day.  The panels turned out great and were left with the studio to cement and finish this week.   After their final clean and polish they look fantastic.
