Fused glass workshop led by glass artist Helen Southwell where participants make decorative glass items from pre-cut glass, with materials and firing included.
Helen Southwell is leading a fused glass workshop at Salisbury Arts Centre on Thursday 4 March 2027. It's a hands-on session where you'll work with pre-cut glass and accessories to make either one medium-sized piece or two smaller ones — things like a decorative glass panel, a t-light, or a soap dish. Once you've put your design together, it goes into the kiln to be fired, and you'll be able to collect your finished work about a week later.
Southwell is a glass artist and teacher based right here in Salisbury, and she brings more than 40 years of experience in education to the table. From her Wiltshire studio, she makes kiln-formed and mosaic glass art for the home and garden, alongside larger commissions and stained-glass work. This workshop is a chance to work with her in person, and because all the materials are provided, you don't need to bring anything with you. No prior experience is needed either, so it's as much for a complete beginner as for someone who's dabbled before.

The session is part of the Arts Centre's wider activity programme, which they run with local artists and practitioners. They pitch it as a creative activity for wellbeing, learning and social connection, whatever your age or experience, so it's as much about the company as it is about the glass. The workshop runs on Thursday 4 March at Salisbury Arts Centre, with all materials and firing included in the price.
