The Studio
handles both original commissions and restoration work and is
equally skillful in religious or secular/commercial objects as
well as modern designs with an emphasis on fused glass.
The apprenticeship periods last one or two months according to student's choice
(provided the slot is available).
Contact us for available space. The topics covered are listed below. The program has
been active for almost 20 years and although the scheme is of particular benefit to
the beginner and intermediate, advanced and professional glass artists have found
the apprenticeship to be useful to enhance their skills and exchange ideas. English is spoken in the studio.
