Glass painting & fusion workshop @ Gelf Studios

Glass Painting & Fusion

Workshop @ Gelf Studios, Bletchley, Milton Keynes

Led by Kathryn Flegg who produces beautiful artisan kiln fused glass pieces.

We started with sketching the design onto a paper template of the arched shaped glass. I then used special glass paint to draw the outline using a fine 'drawing' tool. Once I had finished the painting stage layers of frit glass powders were added onto the design of the sun and the tree elements. 

The design on glass prior to the firing stage.

The design was then fired in a kiln, placed into a wooden block and I am very pleased
with the finished result!

Swallows, Swifts & House Martins

Had a fun afternoon making a mosaic bird for a new mural which will be located at the Tescos entrance to The Bath House. It will feature Swallows, Swifts and House Martins, all known to nest in Wolverton. Very much looking forward to seeing the finished mural in November!
