Fused Glass Creations Workshop
Sunday 25th January 2026 - Henshaws, Knaresborough
Available spaces
Join us for an inspiring one-day glass fusion workshop, where you’ll create a stunning 20 x 15 cm fused glass textured picture under the expert guidance of Helen Gordon, a renowned glass artist with a passion for vibrant, tactile designs. This beginner-friendly session welcomes those exploring glass for the first time as well as those with some fusing experience, requiring no drawing skills. You’ll work with a clear glass base, adding cut glass elements, frit, and stringers to build a unique design, choosing from Helen’s provided templates or bringing your own. Learn to translate themes into glass artwork, experiment with textures, and understand glass compatibility, all while creating a piece inspired by templates or your imagination. Set in the vibrant, welcoming environment of Henshaws Arts and Crafts Centre, this NYAS workshop offers a creative and supportive atmosphere, ensuring you leave with a kiln-fired artwork (these will be posted to you after the workshop) and the skills to explore glass fusion further. Glass fusion, a modern craft rooted in ancient glass working traditions dating back to 2000 BC in Mesopotamia, involves heating glass in a kiln to fuse layers into cohesive designs. Popularised in the 20th century with advancements in kiln technology, it became a favourite of contemporary artists for its ability to create colourful, textured artworks like panels, bowls, and jewellery. Requiring only glass and a kiln, fusion is accessible yet versatile, producing durable pieces for decor or functional use, with an eco-friendly edge when using recycled glass. This workshop introduces you to the art of glass fusion, empowering you to craft a textured picture - flat or free-standing - that captures light and colour, perfect for display or gifting, while fostering creativity and technical skill.
