Ever wanted to have a go at fused glass? Glassophony’s hands-on fused glass workshops in East Sussexare a chance to step away from the everyday, get creative and discover the possibilities of working with glass.
Hosted by fused glass artist Valerie Letley, each workshop gives you the opportunity to experiment with colour, texture and design while creating your own unique piece of fused glass art.
Whether you’re completely new to glassmaking or already enjoy being creative, the workshops are designed to be relaxed, welcoming and fun — with plenty of guidance along the way.
