About the event

Glass fusing is the art of joining pieces of glass together by melting them in a kiln at high temperatures. During the process, layers of glass are carefully arranged into a design, then heated until they fuse together. It’s a wonderfully creative and relaxing craft where you can play with colour, shape, and texture to make beautiful items - in this workshop you'll be able to make 2 suncatchers (perfect for helping the birds avoid flying into your house windows). No cutting or experience is needed - this is a beginners workshop! We have plenty of examples, templates and pictures for you to follow. Every piece is fired in a kiln and returned to the centre for you to collect within 7-10 days, ready to display or gift. 

The session will start with an inspirational walk around the nature reserve led by a member of the onsite staff team, with a chance to take photos or make sketches to inspire your glass work. We'll be back at the centre in time for tea and biscuits before handing over to Sue Matthews (The Floral Fuse) at 10:30am who will lead you through making your sun catchers. If you prefer not to participate in the walk please arrive at 10:15am.

Hot drinks and biscuits provided, please bring a packed lunch. 

We are committed to keeping our visitors, staff and volunteers safe. Please DO NOT attend if you are unwell, or testing positive for an infectious illness, such as COVID-19. Your consideration is hugely appreciated.

Please note the centre is accessible by public transport with regular buses (including connection to Didcot Parkway railway station) serving Milton Park, a few minutes walk from the centre.
