Glass Photography – Advice and tips

What is product photography and how do you do it?

We are very keen to help you learn how to polish your products and capture great photos.

Understand the big picture of glass product photos

    • Clear, high-quality photos are crucial for selling your work and approaching galleries.

    • The best glass photography set-up is a controlled environment with good lighting and a clean background. Preferably with a professional photographer.

Create high-quality images by shooting on a solid background, like white or black fabric or paper. The product needs to stand out in these photos, so by keeping the background simple and crisp will limit distractions.

Some photography guides can be found in the Members areas under RESOURCES (you will need to be a CGS member to access these):

Sand casting workshop

Sand casting in glass is a very creative and exciting experience. This glass casting day is suitable for both absolute first-timers and experienced artists. Each person will design and make three glass pieces during the day, which they can take away after a three-day cooling process in a kiln.

The morning is spent designing and creating sand moulds using forms, shapes and colours with the opportunity to add metals. After lunch, we use the alchemy of molten glass at 1150 degrees from the furnace.

The liquid glass is poured into the moulds to create amazing and unique glass artworks. Inclusions of colours and metals, leaves can be added between the layers. The resulting glass pieces are always amazing and surprising. This is a very rare opportunity to try an exciting and creative glass craft.

This is a very unique and exciting course brought together by two professional artists with highly unique experiences and workshop facilities.

A cancellation with a full refund can be obtained up to 2 weeks before the course starts. Start dates may be amended on request.
