Some pics from the latest Kiln Fused Glass Workshop

Unfortunately I didn't have time to take pictures of all the work produced on our last workshop, but here are a few of them. Some lovely things created by complete novices in just one day, with a lunch break too. They did very well and now seem "hooked". Many have pledged to return...
Next workshop is a 2 day one on Thursday 23rd & Friday 24th May.

Jane's new bowl

One of the ladies who came on the bowl workshop came and made another one a few days ago. Fabulous results.

Kiln Fused Glass - Bowl Workshop February 2013

Our latest Kiln Fused Glass Bowl Workshop on February 1st 2013 was a great success. Here are some of the lovely bowls/dishes made. Some were photographed on my phone and they're not very good. The chicken looks brilliant in reality but photos not so good - it's a wonderful dish. The seascape one is fabulous too. Actually they were all wonderful - and each one unique!

They're coming back to make some more again soon. Lovely people, a great day and some fabulous results.

Made a lampshade today at the Makeplace in Norwich

Very pleased with my lampshade - made today at the MakePlace in Norwich.
Saw Aviva Leigh there too - she made a fabulous shade using a piece of her lovely woven textile. They all looked so professional. Fabulous to learn a new skill.
Cat is looking gorgeous today (sitting on Chris' lap - I think he's her "creature") and I've just downloaded pics of Xmas glass we took to shows (all now sold) and my latest Cardoon panel. Studio is so tidy I just had to take a picture. It won't stay like that for long...

The Dragon Shard

Here's a sneak preview of an information sheet I'm putting together on our latest collaborative piece with Paul Jackson. Watch this space...

Fabulous Felt Hat Making Workshop today

Our Felt Hat Making Workshop today was a fantastic success - again! Bridget O'Connell (Felt by Bridget) is such a wonderful teacher and is so generous sharing her knowledge. The results were just wonderful and everyone seemed to be very happy with the day. Here is a picture of what the group made.

One of the participants, Sally, sent us this wonderful picture of her hat. It's a bit hidden in my photo so it's really good to have a close-up. What an achievement. A fabulous creation. Thanks for the picture Sally.

Been very busy running Glass workshops and exhibiting

We have been really busy this summer running glass workshops, having people to stay in our lovely private Yurt and preparing work for Exhibition.
All good, but it's stopped me from adding to my blog.
Here are some images to show what we've been up to:
The first is my initial Sweet Chestnut Hanging (which has now sold - I miss having it around), the second is our collaborative piece for the Norfolk Contemporary Craft Society 40th Anniversary Exhibition recently in the Forum, and the last is our display at the Show. Just a couple more workshops this year then make, make, make for the various shows we're going to in the run-up to Christmas.
