More information about this Course


01. Who is this course for?
This course is for learners with some prior knowledge of fused glass making, who are now looking to develop their skills. This course follows on from Introduction to Fused Glass. You will have the opportunity for on-going 1:1 discussion to develop your own ideas to design and create a range of glass pieces, such as coasters, suncatchers and a plate.

02. What will I learn?
You will continue to draw inspiration from a wide range of contemporary glass artists in order to make a variety of kiln fused glass pieces. You will be able to work on areas of fused glass making that interest you, building your skills in glass cutting, layering glass and using glass stringers, frit and other glass embellishments together with the kiln carving technique and using metal inclusions to create decoration. You will experiment with different temperatures to develop an understanding of the firing process.

03. How will I learn?
This is a tutor-led, craft class. You will learn through class demonstrations and receive 1:1 support from the tutor. Learners will also receive regular verbal and written feedback on their progress. Please avoid taking holidays during courses. Missed lessons can affect funding for adult learning courses.

04. What will I need to bring?
You will need to bring an apron. Please do not wear your best clothes and no open-topped shoes allowed.

05. What skills or experience do I need?
This course follows on from Introduction to Fused Glass. Prior knowledge of fused glass making is essential - this course is not suitable for complete beginners.

06. How will I be assessed?
The Learning for Wellbeing curriculum uses formative and summative assessment methods to evaluate learner progress. You will work towards completing a set of class learning targets, as well as your own personal development targets. Targets are reviewed at the middle and end of the course. Informal discussions with the tutor will take place throughout the course, both individually and in groups. Your progress may also be documented through photographic evidence.

07. What could I do after this course?
Upon completing this course, you may wish to try one of our other craft classes, such as ‘Fused Glass – Intermediate Level’. The Learning for Wellbeing curriculum offers a wide range of art, craft, sewing, cookery, dance and creative arts courses for you to continue developing skills specifically aimed at improving your wellbeing. Courses are available to search on the GoLearn website.

09. Is help available with course fees?
Many of our courses are FREE to all learners. Your course may be FREE if you are unemployed or earn under £26,800 before deductions. If you are in receipt of state benefits or have a low income (£28,733.50 before deductions) you could be entitled to enrol on your course at a 70% reduced fee cost. Some exclusions apply, eligibility for fee reduction is subject to change, and you may be required to provide evidence of earnings. If the amount you must pay for your course is over £50, we offer instalment plans which break down the cost of learning into a set number of easy monthly payments. If you need help with the wider costs of study, such as childcare, resources, travel, and transport costs, you may be eligible to have these costs reimbursed through our Discretionary Learner Support Fund.
