Frequently Asked Questions
Glass Workshops
What happens during a fused glass workshop?+
You'll spend a relaxed, creative day at Seabird Studio learning the basics of kiln-fired glass with Suzanne. You'll design and assemble your own piece using coloured glass, before Suzanne fires it in the kiln to fuse it together.
Do I need any previous experience?+
Not at all. Our fused glass workshops in Norfolk are suitable for complete beginners. Suzanne guides you through every step in a small, friendly group.
How long does a workshop last?+
Most workshops run for around three to four hours, giving you plenty of time to design, cut and assemble your glass piece without feeling rushed.
