Make your own Bristol balloon glass art with local glass artist and chief maker at The Glass Cabin, Rachael.
Using fused glass techniques, you'll create your unique glass balloon sun catcher. Rachael will be on hand with examples and inspiration for your piece, there are plenty of templates to guide your design or you can be as creative as you wish. Selecting from a rainbow of coloured glass and glass accessories to make you piece. You'll finish up with a beautifully embellished balloon to keep yourself or give as a custom made gift.
This is a taster fused glass workshop and you will learn the basics of kiln formed glass techniques whilst creating your glass piece. The workshop is informal, fun and relaxing and no previous experience is necessary. If you do not wish to make a balloon on the day there are other options such as Freestyle Hanging or Flower Panel (hanging or in a stand). There are more example images of what has been made in workshops on my website and social media.
At the end of your experience Rachael will take your glass design away to fire, ready for you to pick up about a week later. Your finished balloon is packaged in a recycled gift box.
