Top Tips for Staying Creative
Staying in your home or studio? Here's our top tips on staying creative.

Involve the children
We know lots of you may have children staying at home with you right now. Glass fusing is a great craft for them to learn, teaching creativity, colour, and improving manual dexterity. Here are some some fun projects aimed at all ages, from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 4. Although designed for schools, these projects can easily be downsized to suit a single child or family group, with adult supervision.

KS2 & KS3: Solar System Project
KS3 & KS4: Textured Picture Project

Be inspired by nature
Your local environment, whether it's a garden or view from the window, can be a fantastic source of inspiration. Our world may seem smaller for now but it can still inspire creativity. Get your imagination flowing by seeing how other glass artists have expressed their environment in glass, or use one of our kits to help you get started.
