This one day course is ideal for beginners who want to understand the basics of casting glass.

You will use a variety of materials and techniques to create moulds for glass which will then be fired in the kiln. You can bring along interesting textures such as leaves, lace, buttons etc which will be imprinted on the clay.

Pieces will need finishing with cold working after the kiln firing to make it safe. It should be ready for collection approximately 14 days after the course.

10.00-16.00 / £80 / Age 16+

Break for lunch at 12.30 – 13.30. Please bring packed lunch or preorder lunch from The Glass Yard.

Covid-19 

We have been working hard to implement Covid-19 safety measures for our adult courses and workshops.

Although the content of our courses has stayed the same, we have followed government guidelines to make changes in how we deliver courses and workshops safely. We have put in place training and new procedures and protocols around social distancing, hygiene, handling of equipment and materials and PPE (personal protective equipment).

Please note that participants are asked to provide their own face-covering to walk through the building to get to their class and may be asked to wear their face-covering at certain times in class.

All our events are subject to regular risk assessments and while we currently expect to deliver these sessions it may be necessary to cancel for safety reasons if we deem it to be in participants’ best interests. Please refer to our full terms and conditions.
