Realise Your Design - 1-on-1 Studio Session

One full day | £450 (materials additional) | 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM
HALTglass Studios, GU4 7QD

Two Ways To Work Together

This bespoke 1-on-1 studio session gives you complete flexibility in how we work:

Option A: Skills Development
Focused tuition on specific techniques you want to master. I'll teach you the processes step-by-step so you can continue developing your practice independently.

Option B: Facilitated Production
You have a specific project in mind and want my decades of experience to help execute it. You guide the creative direction while I apply specialist techniques to bring your vision to life in glass. This is ideal for artists, photographers, and designers working toward exhibitions, commissions, or portfolio development.

Most sessions blend both approaches - learning techniques while creating work that matters to you.

Screen Printing Techniques Available

Photo-Based Screen Printing
Transfer high-resolution photographic imagery onto glass using photo-sensitive emulsion with kiln-fired enamels, silver and copper stains, or traditional stained glass paints.

CMYK 4-Layer Multi-Colored Printing
Create full-color photographic images using transparent enamels fired in multiple layers. This technique produces vibrant, permanent color with exceptional detail.

Silver & Copper Stain Printing
Hand-pull silk screen prints using silver and copper stains for richly layered, multi-tonal work. Perfect for creating depth and luminosity in architectural glass.

Fusing & Printing
Combine screen printing with glass fusing, using kiln-fired enamels and powdered frit to create vibrant, textured, gem-like surfaces.

Photoshop Preparation for Glass
Tailored guidance on preparing digital images for screen printing - including layering, collaging, halftone generation, and transparency/opacity management specific to glass processes.

Sandblasting Techniques Available

High-Resolution Photographic Sandblasting
Create permanent photographic images in glass using UV-sensitive emulsion stencils. Capable of extraordinary detail impossible to achieve by hand-cutting.

Traditional Hand-Cut Stencil Sandblasting
Learn precise hand-cutting and application of resist materials for clean, graphic imagery and typographic work.

Screen-Printed Resist Sandblasting
Unique to HALTglass - use screen printing to apply sandblast resists, allowing for complex, repeatable, and highly detailed imagery.

Flashed Glass Specialization
Work with handmade antique flashed glass - sandblast through colored surface layers to reveal contrast and create striking imagery.

Combined Processes

The real power of a 1-on-1 session is combining techniques:

• Sandblast and screen print on the same piece

• Layer enamels over sandblasted imagery

• Fuse multiple printed and sandblasted layers

• UV bonding of multiple worked glass layers

We'll design the day around your specific project goals, whether that's mastering one technique in depth or exploring how multiple processes can work together.

What's Included

• Full day of focused studio time and expert guidance

• Use of all equipment (kilns, sandblaster, screen printing facilities, UV exposure unit)

• Technical problem-solving throughout the day

• Process consultation and project planning

Materials charged separately based on your project:

• You're welcome to bring your own glass if preferred

Who This Is For

• Artists with a specific project or exhibition deadline

• Photographers wanting to translate their work into permanent glass

• Designers developing prototypes or samples for commissions

• Stained glass artists expanding into contemporary techniques

• Anyone with a clear creative vision who needs specialist fabrication support

Skill level: All levels welcome. Complete beginners benefit from structured tuition; experienced makers use the session for advanced techniques or challenging executions.

Email me before booking and we can discuss your project to ensure the day is structured optimally. If you're unsure whether one day is sufficient, I'll advise on realistic goals and timelines.
