Saturday Glass Workshop: Explore Glass Techniques

You will practice and develop both skill and creativity through personal project work, with guidance from your tutor. Teaching takes place in a practical workshop setting, including both presentation, discussion and demonstration. Informal assessment will take place on a continual basis throughout the course using observation, and a group Learner presentation at the end of the course outlining the development of individual projects. To ensure that you make the best possible progress on your course, you will have regular feedback from your tutor, in a constructive and supportive environment.

The fee includes tuition, some materials, alongside use of specialist equipment. Learners will be expected to purchase their own glass material (guidance will be given by the tutor on the first session). You may need to purchase some additional materials depending on individual projects, as advised by your tutor.

It would be helpful to bring a sketchbook/notebook, pencils/pen/marker pen etc. You will need to wear sturdy shoes, boots or trainers (no open sandals); an apron. We have basic tools in the workshop which have been adapted to facilitate a safe learning environment. Glass and other materials are available for sale to students, however, Learners may want to buy or bring in their own resources, to have a wider variety in choice of materials

This course will provide confidence to work independently towards your own professional development. With these transferable skills learners can further develop creative potential and expand learning within 2D & 3D studies: we encourage progression onto other intermediate or advanced courses within our glass provision at Morley: these may include the Btec Level 2 or 3 in Glass as well as other courses in Art & Design the college provides. Please speak with your tutor for further advice or information.
