'Whispers From Nature' Exhibition

Event category: Exhibition

Location: The Stained Glass Museum, South Triforium, Ely Cathedral, Ely, CB7 4DL
Whispers From Nature
‘Whispers from Nature’ brings together glass works Warboys has made using her Muller technique. Associations ripple through the resulting images. Marks seem to reference the interior of bodies, their map of veins and capillaries, while simultaneously suggesting the cartography of terrain. Circular, enclosed forms can be indicative of a womb or a nest while also evoking an ammonite’s spiral and the swirl of the Milky Way. These works are enigmatic, not settling to a single representation, instead overlaying imagery suggestive of biology, geology and cosmology within the boundaries of a single glass pane.

Family Glass Fusing Workshop AM
18 Aug. 2025 11:00-12:30


Event category: Family Activity

Price: £17.50 per participant
Location: The Stained Glass Museum
Book
This ticket admits 1 participant to the workshop. Each member of the family wishing to make a fused glass panel needs to book a ticket. Suitable for ages: 7+

Are you looking for something memorable to do with your child this holiday? In this unique session you and your child/children can work alongside each other to make a beautiful fused panel, so no need for you parents to just watch, you can get creating too! You will begin by learning the principles and theory of glass cutting, fusing and firing. After this you will be taught how to cut the glass and try cutting the glass yourself. Other techniques you will be introduced to will include fusing clear and coloured glass using fritt, confetti, stringers and noodles. You will get to work on your design and make a 10cm x 10cm glass piece. The session leader will provide examples of the different techniques, processes, fittings and results for you to handle and examine, but the emphasis of the workshop will be on the creative designs that you can achieve by yourselves, ensuring that everyone will have a rewarding time.

Your glass will need to be kiln-fired after the workshop is finished so you will NOT be taking your glass home on the day of the session. Each firing takes 24hours. Once your fused artwork has been kiln-fired and cooled, we will contact you to let you know it is ready for collection. This will usually be within a week of completing the workshop.
