2.5 day Intensive Sculptural Glass Panel: Stained glass, flameworking and fusing at Mulranny Arts, Co. Mayo

This three-day intensive introduces students to stained glass, fusing and flameworking techniques through the creation of a sculptural glass panel. Beginning with stained glass fundamentals, participants will build skills through a small light-catcher before designing and planning a larger piece. Flameworking and fusing techniques are then used to create bespoke glass embellishments, which are integrated into the final panel. The course concludes with soldering and finishing, resulting in a unique, light-catching artwork to take home.

All materials and lunch included.
