Designed for glass makers who already have some experience, this 5 day course explores everything you need to know to confidently add glass splashbacks and large panels to your practice.
You will be taught by Liz Sparkes, former owner of Glassification, who went from a student of fused glass, to being able to earn a full time income as a kiln formed glass artist specialising in hand made, bespoke glass splash backs. in just 2 years. You can see some of Liz’s work on the website glassification.co.uk
Liz will share everything she has learned (the hard way!) so you don’t have to!
With over 30 years experience as a kitchen designer, the course will not only cover glass making issues such as firing schedules, kiln preparation, choice of glass, how to install etc, but also give you an understanding of the kitchen market and design issues your customers will be facing.
During the week you will design ranges, produce samples and create a list of local kitchen specialists to contact, so that you could start building your business the next day!
Not to be confused with usual glass making classes, this course is a true “Business in a Box” as alongside the technical glass making issues it will also offers sales and marketing advice, as well as on going support as you start to expand your business.
If you are serious about your glass as a business, then this is the course for you.
