Part 1
Glass Session with Stevie Davies
Thursday 6th March, 7 - 9pm
You will create 3 Glass discs – approx. 9.5cm, 7.5cm and 5.5cm – using a gentle mosaic technique but with fused glass. Stevie will prepare lots of vibrant coloured glass in shapes, random tiles of glass for you to play with, and she’ll have some extra special dichroic sparkles with her too!
Create your designs and leave them with Stevie to take away to fire, finish and deliver back to Anna, ready for your wire workshop!
If you can't make the Thursday session, but would really like to do this, do get in touch, as there is a possibility of a make at home kit.
Email Anna via [email protected] and we'll see what we can do.

Part 2
Wire Flower Sculpture with Anna
Choose between
Saturday 15th March, 10am - 4.30pm
Saturday 29th March, 10am - 4.30pm
You will create a wire sculpture made up of 3 different flowers on a single shaped stem. The workshop is designed so that each flower you make builds on your skills, with 2 basic petal shaped ones of different sizes and one stylized twist and bead flower. There will be a selection of beautiful coloured wires to create flowers that complement your glass centres and array of glass beads to adorn your twisted feature flower. (Or, of course, you could bring along your own special beads to use in your design).
Once your flower shapes are made Anna will guide you on constructing your sculpture and adding your centres.
The workshop is suitable for wirework beginners as well as those with more experience. Some regulars may find they have time to experiment with different petal shapes or are welcome to create an extra basic flower to add to their collection.
If you'd like to make the wire flower sculpture without the glass centres, (Price £75) please drop Anna an email via [email protected] and we'll try to fit you in.
