Make your own fused glass jewellery in this hidden rainforest studio.Marie Simberg-Hoglund makes glass jewellery and gorgeous vases and bowls in the rainforest studio that she shares with husband, Ola. Ola is to be seen on most days during the winter, turning and shaping molten glass with strength and dexterity as it goes in and out of huge furnaces to eventually emerge as a poetic expression of light and form. Marie's jewellery-making equipment requires much less effort and uses smaller kilns but is equally skilled. These skills will be offered to students on October 9 during a one-day workshop at her studio in the Whyanbeel Valley, north of Port Douglas.
They will be encouraged to experiment with different techniques to create their own unique, fused glass jewellery. Four projects will result in beautiful pendants or brooches to take home. All pieces made during the workshop will be fused after the workshop and annealed in the kiln over night, polished and finished when cooled by Marie and available for collection from the Sugar Wharf on Sunday 11th October (or postage/shipping can be organized).
