LIGHT ON THE LANDSCAPE: FUSED GLASS

Sat 17 June | 10.00am - 2.00pm | £60.00

Join artist, Tracey McVerry, to create your own bespoke candle holder using the medium of fused glass. In response to the exhibition ‘Whispers at Dawn, Dancing at Dusk’ you will create your own fused glass candle holder inspired by a landscape that resonates with you.

During the workshop, Tracey will give you a short tour of her exhibition and explain how the South Armagh landscape has heavily inspired her work. You will then move into the studio space to recreate your own chosen landscape in glass. You will learn techniques in design layout, glass cutting, and assembly of cold glass using coloured sheet, stringers and frit.

Your work will be transported back to Tracey’s studio to be fired and mounted into a handmade wooden base. The work will be delivered back to the Market Place for collection a week later.

Participants are encouraged to bring a photo of a landscape that they have a connection with.
