Fused Glass Paperweights, Castlehill Heritage Centre, Caithness
Designed for complete beginners, and those who have done a little fused glass before, during this class you will be taken through the steps to create a multi layered glass paperweight! You will be led step by step through the process, including glass cutting, designing, assembling and decorating your glass with colourful Bullseye Powders, Frits and Stringers.
During this class you can choose to make one larger (15cm diameter) or two smaller paperweights (10cm diameter) Some technical information will be provided so you understand the process, but this is definitely still a fun and informal class!

About your teacher!
A self confessed glass geek, Shelagh is a very experienced tutor, having taught both painting and glass internationally as well as in her own studio in Aberdeen (formerly known as Oil and Glass) since 2012. In 2013 Bullseye Glass (the manufacturers of the glass you will use in this session) invited Shelagh to their factory in Portland, Oregon, where she completed a week long instructors course. She absolutely adores teaching, and always makes sure that her sessions are very informative, but also lots of fun!
