• Glass artist David Traub is holding his Sunday Introduction to Kiln Glass workshops. Programme content: Make a coloured glass tile, two slumped glass bowls and glass brooches. David will demonstrate the basics of fusing, slumping, using coloured glass pieces, powders and frits and kiln firing. This one-day experience is intended to give you the ability, knowledge and confidence to experiment with these processes on your own. The workshop is suitable for those with no or little prior glass experience. For more information or to book a workshop, phone David on 021 113 7970 or email d.traub@infogen.net.nz. Please feel free to contact David if you'd like to arrange a glass workshop outside of the advertised dates.

He’s an expert on the history of contemporary glass; knowledge he enjoys sharing as much in Whanganui as in England when a visiting lecturer for Sotheby’s in London.
