What you'll do
Looking for fun things to do in Canberra? Join this introductory glass art class and learn how to make a gorgeous fused glass basket, vase, plate or bowl!
Come along to Whimsical Makings studio for a day of creative adventure in the most beautiful material known as art glass. Your teacher, Susan, hope that you will enjoy the day and who knows you may even fall in love with a new craft – kiln forming warm glass.
The day will run from 9:30 am to 5 pm with an hour for lunch which will be provided as will morning and afternoon tea. Please note if you prefer you are welcome to bring your own food.
You can either bring your own ideas or your teacher has many designs to choose from. You will be delighted with the range of colours available! The size will need to be restricted to no bigger than 25cm x 25cm.
You will be using scrap glass to assemble your vessel. As it would be good to know at the outset which you would prefer to create, have a look at the images above to gain an idea of your preference.
Once laid out the piece will be fired overnight (usually 24 hours to become one piece of glass, which your teacher will then re-fire to bend to glass to the shape), you can pick up, take home and admire!
Knowledge required
Absolute beginners welcome.

Your teacher
My artistic practice is focused on creating works in glass that are cut by hand and then fused and shaped using kilns and cold working methods. My love affair with glass began many years ago, making works in recreational classes. In 2016 I enrolled in a Visual Arts degree at the ANU majoring in glass which I completed in 2019. I enjoy making whimsical and playful pieces. However, I gain enormous satisfaction from teaching others about the mysteries of glass and how create either fun pieces or utilitarian pieces. For people who have a specific project in mind I am happy to tailor classes to suit. A great way for you to start is to enrol in a one day class that is conducted in my studio. Class sizes are restricted to no more than four people.
