Bring the calming beauty of the ocean into your home with our stunning hand-cut fused glass wave. This vibrant blue wave is crafted from lots of various blue tones of glass, each small piece carefully laid out to create the flowing wave shape. We've even left some tiny gaps to give it that wonderfully natural, frothy look of a real wave.
Measuring approximately 14 cm wide x 15 cm tall (or 16 cm including its stand), this eye-catching piece is the perfect size for a shelf, desk, or windowsill.
Once the individual glass pieces are arranged, the wave is fired in a kiln, a process that takes about 12 hours to complete, fusing all those beautiful blues together. The finished wave is then elegantly mounted on a solid oak frame, adding a touch of natural warmth to this captivating artwork. It's a truly unique piece that captures the essence of the sea!
Bring a touch of nature's charm indoors with our lovely fused glass robin, gently perched on a natural wooden branch. This delightful robin is carefully hand-cut, its delicate shape is then beautifully decorated with finely powdered glass to create its distinctive red breast and other detailed features.
Measuring 8 x 12.5 cm, the robin is perfectly sized to catch the eye. The entire piece, including its rustic wooden perch, has an overall dimension of 17.5 x 18 cm, making it an ideal accent for a windowsill, shelf, or mantelpiece.
Each robin is a unique piece of art, showcasing the beauty of fused glass and the timeless appeal of this beloved garden bird. It makes a wonderful gift for nature lovers or a charming addition to your own home.
Bring a touch of nature's charm indoors with our lovely fused glass bluetit, gently perched on a natural wooden branch.

After the Workshop
While you won't be firing your creations yourself (that's my job!), we'll chat about the different firing processes and the cool effects they create. If you're really keen, I'm happy to dive deeper into it!
Once your beautiful glass art is ready, it'll be fired in the kiln and can even be slumped into a bowl or wave shape, or have a hole drilled so you can hang it up. Your completed pieces will be ready to collect within 7 to 10 days. If it's easier, we can even arrange to post them to you (postage costs will apply).

Our workshops take place in my cosy home studio in Overstone Village. We keep the class size small, usually a maximum of 4 people, which means you get lots of individual attention. If you're thinking of booking as a larger group, please do get in touch to chat about options!
