ASE 2026 Technicians Summer Conference

Come along and have a go and making some simple glass items to gain confidence when heating and bending glass. You can keep everything you make, options will include delivery tubes, stirring rods, glass spreaders and U bend tubes amongst others.  If you have a glass cutter in your department – bring it with you!

This workshop is gratefully supported by the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers. The ASE is most appreciative of the charity's support without which school science technicians would be unable to receive the valuable professional learning relating to working with glass in their science laboratories.

Owing to the popularity of the glassmaking session, there is one in the morning and another is repeated this afternoon, to accommodate as many delegates as possible.

Chromatography experiments can be problematic. Finding the right pens and food dyes where the mixtures will separate into their component parts to the difficulty in getting the distinctive spots that appear on the exam paper rather than a smear on the chromatography paper.

This workshop will explore different methods that are safe, cost effective and give students definitive results.
