I'm running a master class at the International Festival of Glass at the Ruskin Glass Centre from the 20th August. We will be building a furnace on site and working it using recycled glass, learning how to make complex glassware without the aid of an assistant. For information about the course and the International Glass Fesival go to http://www.ifg.org.uk  
This year is particularly exciting as Richard Marquis is making a rare UK visit. Although his course is already full it's well worth going just to see if you can watch him work.
