Relaxed fused glass workshop with instructor Naomi Frances to create Christmas-themed pieces, with all materials and tools provided.
Naomi Frances is running a fused glass workshop at Montague Gallery on Sunday 8 November, from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm. It's a morning session, so you're in and out by lunchtime, and you don't need any previous artistic experience to join in. All the materials and tools are provided, and there's a short break for tea and biscuits, which is a nice touch when you're working with glass.
The session is built around loose themes — birds, flowers, seascapes or summer celebrations — so you can take your work in whatever direction you fancy. What you make can be hung, framed, or used as coasters, and works just as well as a handmade gift as it does as something to keep for yourself. The numbers are kept small, with a maximum of 12 people per course, so it stays a relaxed and friendly atmosphere rather than a crowded room.
One thing to keep in mind is that the glass doesn't finish in the gallery. Once you've put your pieces together, they go back to Naomi's studio to be fired in her kiln, and then returned to the gallery in two to three weeks for you to pick up. It's a bit of a slow-burn process, so you'll have a couple of weeks of anticipation before you actually get to hold what you've made.
