Introduction to Glass Gilding Processes

You will be working on set tasks and processes guided by your expert glass tutor, Maria Zulueta. Teaching takes place in a practical workshop setting, including both demonstration and discussion. To ensure that you make the best possible progress on your course, you will have regular feedback from your tutor, in a constructive and supportive environment.

The fee includes tuition, specialist materials, alongside use of specialist equipment, including metal leaves and sizes for gilding. However, Learners will be expected to purchase the glass or other alternative glass types (guidance will be given by the tutor on the first session).

It would be helpful to bring a sketchbook/notebook, pencils/pen/marker pen etc. You will need to wear sturdy shoes, boots, or trainers (no open sandals); an apron. We have basic tools in the workshop, which have been adapted to facilitate a safe learning environment. Glass and other materials are available for sale to students; however, Learners may want to buy or bring in their own resources to have a wider variety in choice of materials.

With these transferable skills you will have the opportunity to further develop your creative potential and expand your learning within Art and Design studies: we encourage progression onto intermediate and advanced courses, (dependant on ability), within our glass provision at Morley, such as BTEC Level 2 in Glass for example, as well as other courses in Art & Design the college provides. Please speak with your tutor for further advice or information.
