Glass Fusing (Two-Class Series)
Tuesdays, April 7 & 14
1:00 - 4:00pm
$100 per person

Discover the art of glass fusing in this hands-on, two-class workshop designed for beginners and creatives of all levels. In the first class, students will learn the fundamentals of working with fused glass, including safe material handling, cutting techniques, design assembly, and an overview of the kiln-firing process. You will create both fused glass jewelry pieces, using molds to shape your designs, and a glass mosaic artwork. For the mosaic, students are encouraged to bring a colorful reference image to inspire and guide their design.

After the first class, all assembled pieces will be fired in the kiln. In the second class, students will return to finish their jewelry by assembling the final components and adding any finishing touches. You’ll also refine and complete your glass mosaic artwork.

All materials for both classes are included. Our glass kiln was generously donated by Eileen Dyer, whose support helps make this creative experience possible!
