Workshop - Glass screen printing- Friday 10th Jan 2025 2-4.30pm
In this introductory class, learn how to screen print on glass with vitreous enamel and make your own colourful set of glass decorations, a pair of coasters or a hanging panel.
You will be shown the process of making hand cut paper stencils to print geometric and repeat patterns, you can use stamps or make your own freehand design. Helen will demonstrate how to apply coloured and metallic enamels and add texture to your piece with fused glass detail.
After the session your pieces will be kiln fired and have any fixings added. They will be ready within a few weeks for studio collection or posted (at £5) which can be paid for on the day.

Classes take place at Manchester Craft and Design Centre in our dedicated workshop, next to the studio shop. The sessions are very relaxed and held in small groups of up to 6 people. Suitable for anyone aged 14+ from complete beginners to those with some experience of printing or fused glass. No matter your making skills, hopefully you will enjoy learning a new process and create your own unique glass piece.
Tickets include all materials, tea coffee and biscuits on the day and kiln firings after the workshop. Finished pieces are usually available within 2-3 weeks and can be collected from the studio or posted to you. Private group sessions can be booked on alternative dates, If you are purchasing tickets as a gift or have any other questions please get in touch .
