About the Class
Glass fusing is the bonding of separate pieces of glass by high heat, administered in a kiln. It’s easy to learn the basics of glass fusing, it’s fun, and the possibilities are endless!
Each session will begin with a thorough glass safety lesson. Then, students will learn basic glass fusing techniques such as cutting and grinding of glass and working with frit. Students will each receive a 4x4 glass base tile that they will design to their liking. The final result can be used as a functional coaster, or a decorative suncatcher. Learned techniques include cutting straight lines, curved lines, and circles. Students will brainstorm ideas to create a piece they will be proud of!
$50, materials included
