Glass Sculptures by Dale Chihuly
Dale Chihuly is an American glass artist who has spent a lifetime experimenting with this fascinating medium. His incredible, colourful glass sculptures are totally awesome and mind-blowing!
Whilst we may not all be as pioneering and ambitious as Dale Chihuly, we can certainly learn to find our very own style of 'fabulous'. |
Which workshop is right for you?
Traditional Lead
In these classes we use the centuries old method which has hardly changed since the 12th century. A panel or stained glass window consists of pieces of coloured glass held together strips of lead came which is then soldered and cemented to create a weatherproof window.

Copper foil (Tiffany) method
This refers to the method where each piece of glass is wrapped in copper foil before being soldered together. This method is generally used for making gifts and smaller pieces such as sun-catchers. Thought to be invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany who was a prolific maker of lamps.

Stained glass & traditional mosaics and mosiac mirrors

Glass Fusing
This is the technique of joining two or more pieces of glass by heat in a kiln. Fusing involves melting your pieces together in temperatures of around 800c to create wonderful fused glass art
