Welcome to our Learn at Your Own Pace: Artist Course with Claire Hall

A lifetime access course, you can watch as many times as you like, for as long as you like.  

Artist Course Description

Learn how to enhance your glass jewellery, incorporating silver reactions, with glass artist Claire Hall. The course will explore the inclusion of silver foil and how it reacts with different types of bullseye glass and powder reactions. All the samples and jewellery demonstrate silver foil's appearance when capped with tekta glass. Claire will take you through four projects, allowing you to create four sets of jewellery collections differing in colour range, reactions, and design. You will understand how to apply silver foil and why specific glass does and doesn't react. You will develop your knowledge of firing schedules, coldworking and finishing jewellery with various findings.

This course is a thorough and easy-to-follow guide that will lead you to create new jewellery collections. Claire's course is prerecorded so you can access it at your own pace and revisit it as often as you wish. An accompanying community page allows you to share your progress and ask Claire any further questions.

How does the Artist Course differ from the Live Online Masterclasses?

The Artist Course gives you lifetime access to Amanda's techniques and demonstrations. The artist course is all pre-recorded videos therefore these are not live but you can access them any time you like on any device, and your access will not expire.

What similarities are there between the Artist Course and the Live Online Masterclass?

There are still materials lists, in-depth handouts and a community page which will be monitored by Glass School and the Artist.  Instead of receiving tuition during live sessions, you can now access a class immediately, as all the tuition is pre-recorded. 


Inclusivity:

We are committed to maintaining a respectful community where all our students can learn and develop their full potential, within a safe environment. English subtitles are available on all of the videos. 

If you have a disability or any specific requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Claire Hall

Claire's passion for glass began during her years travelling across the United States when she met a small community of glass artists in the mountains of West Virginia and started to learn the basics of glass fusing and torchwork. Originally trained as a sculptor working in wood and steel, the material of hot glass easily translated into her work. It was at this time Claire also started designing and creating glass jewellery, making glass beads over a hot torch and fused glass jewellery in a kiln. Since then she has moved back to the UK and now works from her studio in Brockley, near Bristol. She has won several awards for her glass jewellery and exhibits nationally. Last year she was selected to showcase her sculptural vessels and jewellery at The National Glass Centre in Sunderland. Claire has been teaching classes at Warm Glass since 2012.
