What to Expect

Warm glass, also known as glass fusing or slumping, is an ancient artistic technique that goes back to the second millennium BC. The process involves cutting and heating glass to various temperatures so as to melt, fuse or reshape it using the principles of gravity.

For the beginner, the processes of glass cutting, mould making and kiln operation is an intriguing and fascinating experience and best of all you get to take home your creations to show your friends and adorn your home.

Commencing with a tour of a working glass studio, you'll learn the art of glass slumping through demonstrations and hands on experience. You get to create your very own masterpiece and share your thoughts and ideas over a light lunch with other slumpers!
