Fused Glass Christmas Workshop

Get into the Christmas spirit at our Fused Glass Decoration Workshop at Riverside Beads & Crafts in Market Deeping, near Peterborough. This festive workshop is fun, relaxing, and perfect for anyone who loves handmade crafts. The evening workshops are part of our popular Craft & Sip Evenings – Molten & Merry series.

Led by expert tutor Angela from The Glass Hippie, this hands-on workshop will guide you step by step through the process of fused glass design. You’ll work with a variety of colourful glass materials, including glass pieces, frits, and stringers, to create your own unique festive designs.

During the session, you’ll create a selection of beautiful pieces, including a Christmas tree tealight holder and 2–3 decorative items of your choice, such as festive trees or wreaths. Once complete, your designs will be kiln-fired to transform them into stunning finished decorations.

Your creations will be ready to collect from the shop approximately one week after the workshop, or they can be posted to you for an additional fee.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners and improvers, offering a relaxed and social way to learn a new craft while enjoying a festive day or night out.
