I also incorporate fusing into my glassblowing classes. I now never throw any glass away – it is all used to make the coasters and I love fossicking* through the bucket to find just the right, bijoux bits of coloured glass to complete my coaster.           

*I know! Good word isn’t it? I first came across it in Peter Carey’s Oscar and Lucinda….. read more in my “Fossicking” blog!

Fusing classes

As well as the glassblowing classes, which also include a little bit of fusing, I run glass tile fusing workshops where you can make a set of four glass coasters.

We use small bits of waste glass from the blowing process, arrange them (artfully!) in a mould and then fuse them in a kiln. The firing takes 24 hours so the finished tiles will be ready to collect in two days or they can be posted to you.
