Taster Classes
Fancy trying a new skill without the commitment of a full term? Imagination and creativity take expression through the medium of glass one of these Glass classes. Perfect Gift experience day!
Dates currently available Autumn of 2026! Suitable for all ages and abilities over the age of 16.
You can book a taster class with up to 3 friends, work colleagues or family members.

Try your hand at ‘Fused Glass’ where the kiln melts the glass together after you’ve cut the pieces in this 3 hour taster!
In this class learn some new skills as you make two coasters per person in a friendly and relaxed environment in my fully equipped studio. Beginner friendly workshop.
The glass will be fired in a kiln and ready for collection one week later. This technique is used to create coasters, bowls, plates and more sculptural forms.
Review: "Sharron McLeod is a fantastic glass art teacher. I have been one of Sharron's students for over 10 years. Sharron teaches both fused and stained glass techniques and I have completed many exciting projects in both techniques: always supported and encouraged by her expertise. Sharron has a great eye for detail and is able to make helpful suggestions as well as encouraging independence. I would highly recommend one of her classes." Ruth Logue.
Stained Glass Taster class
In this class you will make a small sun catcher from selecting a design approximately 15cm square, choosing the coloured glass, next step is cutting the glass, assembling it and finally soldering it all together.
You will touch upon all the basics steps of copper foiling in this introduction.
Enjoy this as either as an Experience Day or it might give you the bug so you can decide a longer course is for you!
All materials are provided. Take your sun catcher home with you the same day.
Fees for taster classes:
£65 per person. Minimum 2 participants.
