About the Tutor
Sally is a passionate glass artist who, inspired by reflections and the way sunlight plays through glass, fell in love with glass fusion.
Over the years, Sally has honed her teaching skills and developed a passion for teaching, and bought her first kiln in 2019.
Sally’s workshops are always relaxed and fun and she encourages everyone to come up with their own designs. She particularly enjoys working with people who say they are not artistic or creative, because they always surprise themselves by creating something beautiful!
