Glass art workshop for beginners

In this workshop, we'll work with colored glass and learn the basics of glass fusing. We'll create our own surfaces, cut glass, arrange colored patterns, and fuse the prepared pieces in the kiln. While we wait for the results to come out of the kiln, we'll create small projects such as jewelry pendants or simple glass objects. We'll also learn various glassworking techniques, including grinding and polishing. You can take your finished pieces home with you. This course is for beginners with no prior experience.

What to expect:
Introduction to glass fusing with colored glass

Cutting and designing your own piece of glass

Basic principles of firing, shaping, and grinding glass

Expert guidance from Sybille Homann

What our guests say about this workshop

What can you do in two and a half days? A lot! Cut, break, lay, melt, grind, engrave, and shape glass; for the latter, build molds in fireclay; enjoy fantastic meals; have wonderful conversations; completely escape from everyday life; and then go home happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Mikaela, it was wonderful again at your beautiful Werkgut: the atmosphere, the weather, the instructor, the food, the accommodation, the participants – absolutely top-notch! I'm incredibly proud of my glass pieces, although I never imagined they required so many steps. Jörg and I would love to come back again, perhaps next time with two course participants. Thank you so much!
