What we do:
Since 2017, Kiez Mobil has been offering bi-monthly glass fusing workshops for youths led by instructors in English and German. To date, we’ve been fortunate to work with extraordinary kids at refugee homes, youth clubs, community centres and public schools. This unique opportunity for kids from diverse backgrounds encourages confidence and creativity while forming bonds among workshop leaders and participants. Fusing glass together with heat is an ancient technique that involves decorating a glass plate with layers of small cut, coloured glass that the children learn to cut themselves. Each workshop is devised around a particular theme, be it related to the seasons, inspired by local events or experimenting with a specific technique. At the end of the session, the panels are collected in a box and taken to the Berlin Glas studio to be fired overnight in a kiln at 780° C. The result is a colourful artwork that is sent back to the children the next day.
The activity is safe for kids as young as 8 years old, and limitless in its possibilities to inspire creativity!
What we offer:
Two instructors will come fully equipped with all the tools and materials needed for the workshop.
Children from 8 years and up can participate.
Groups of up to 12 are possible.
Sessions run for 2 hours.
Workshops are instructed in German or English.
