Overview

Campus Geraldton

When Semester 1, 2026 | Semester 2, 2026

Study Mode On campus

Duration 8 Weeks

This course provides learners with the essential skills and knowledge needed to use a limited range of basic glassworking techniques to create fundamental glass objects from simple design concepts. It is suited to individuals who already have some general design, drawing, or craft skills and are beginning a career in the visual arts. Participants typically have little or no experience in glasswork and will work under close supervision with guidance from experienced practitioners.

The course responds to an identified skills gap in the creative arts, particularly in hands-on, face‑to‑face learning. It is designed for adult learners, hobbyists, artists, and small business owners interested in upskilling or exploring kiln‑formed glass. It also supports students, job seekers, and individuals seeking personal or professional development in creative fields.

Throughout the program, learners will gain practical, foundational glassworking skills that may lead to employment pathways, further study, or personal enrichment through artistic practice. The face‑to‑face delivery ensures participants receive direct hands-on experience, immediate feedback, and essential safe‑handling instruction when working with glass. This learning mode is ideal for those who thrive in interactive, practical environments where collaboration, experimentation, and learning by doing are central to their experience.
