Class format and activities

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.

Entry requirements

The course is suitable for students of all levels of experience, including complete beginners, and is perfect for anyone interested in learning, or further exploring glass techniques.

What you need to know before you enrol

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

What you need

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.

What you can do next

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.
