This summer I am excited to be offering classes; 1 day or a taster half day. The classes are suitable for beginners or for those with some experience of lamp working.
A full day course or half day course can be 1 to 1 or for up to 3 people. Groups of 2 or 3 people will share the torch time and observe their colleague/s working. Every student will make something that I will anneal in the kiln and send on to you after your visit.
For those new to lampwork we will make something simple, like leaves, initially without colour- lustres of your choice of colours can be applied when they go in the kiln- and should you wish, and time allows- coloured glass can then be introduced. A simple ‘branch’ will be the next step to hang your leaves from to make them into a mobile or chime.
I demonstrate each step at least once and am on hand constantly to help you create your leaves.
If you have some experience or would like to make something else, we can discuss the possibilities beforehand.
I like to keep the classes as a relaxed environment and aim for you to have as enjoyable experience as possible with me, so do let me know if you have any special requests.
I am offering classes over a period of 3 weeks up until the end of June.
If you are happy to share your class with up to two other people or book as a group of 2 or 3 the cost will be:
Full day: 10 am – 4.30 pm, £ 190 per person.
Half day: Morning 9.30 am – 12.30 pm, Afternoon 1.30 – 4.30 pm, £ 90 per person.
1 to 1
Full day: 10 am – 4.30 pm, £ 380.
Half day: Morning 9.30 – 12.30 pm, Afternoon 1.30 until 4.30 pm £ 180.
If you would like to request a date, I ask that you put in your 1st ,2nd and 3rd preference of date and state how many people you are booking for and whether you would like a full day or half day (indicating morning or afternoon); 1 to 1 class or wish to share with others.
I will also need to know if you have any experience to pair you with similar ability students if you wish to share.
I have a large list of people who have expressed an interest in classes so will only be able to offer classes on a first come first serve basis.
On confirmation of your booking date, I ask for a deposit of 50% per person to hold your place with the remaining 50% due 4 weeks prior to your class.
Please email sculptureclasses@firecreation.com for a booking request form for classes.
For any further queries do not hesitate to contact me.
More information on accommodation locally, meals and more about what your class will entail will be provided in due course.
There will be safety talk before we start, and I do ask for you to sign a disclaimer that I will not be held responsible for any injury you might incur as a result of this class.
All classes will be held in my workshop at my home near Stonehenge in Wiltshire.
Kind wishes
Sandra
