Get into the Christmas spirit with us on our glass fusing for Christmas 2023 course. It’ll take place in our spacious Chilham studio, near Canterbury. Whether snowmen and funky penguins are your thing or if you’re more into doves and nativity scenes, you’re equally welcome. Rather than queuing in shopping centres or filling the coffers of Amazon, you can have fun making Christmas gifts in our studio! (We can’t provide your turkey though…)

Come and explore warm glass with us, using both float glass and then Bullseye fusing glass. A generous quantity of materials, lunch and refreshments are included. You’ll impress yourself with what you can create! Artistic ability is useful but by no means essential.

If you’ve not played with glass before, don’t worry. We’ll teach you and soon have you cutting with confidence. You can even make something beautiful without cutting glass at all! We have a wide range of colourful sheet glass, frit, stringers (think “glass spaghetti”) and more. Come and be spoiled for choice.

What can I make?

On your glass fusing for Christmas 2023 Saturday course, you could make decorations, gifts for friends and family, family heirlooms… Kiln carving will allow you to make festive coasters or a stand-up decoration, while tack fusing will let you make all sorts of fun decorations. The choice is yours; make several smaller items or perhaps a couple of bigger things.

Your glass will be fused after your course and can be collected or posted to you (this typically costs around £9 depending on its size & weight).

Will you be playing Christmas music?

That’s entirely up to you! We’ll ask. Some people love it, other people will have had enough of it by now!

What about the nibbles and the fizz?

As an added bonus we’ll have a selection of Christmassy treats and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic fizz for after you’ve finished your glass creations- if you can tear yourself away from the studio, that is!
