Discover the vibrant world of glass fusing! Join us for a creative and relaxing workshop where you will learn to design and craft your very own functional glass art. Whether you want to create a decorative soap dish, a unique trinket tray, or a stunning tea light holder, this class is the perfect introduction to the colorful possibilities of kiln-fired glass.
What to Expect:
In this hands-on session, you’ll be guided through the basics of glass fusion. You will work with a variety of professional materials, including:
- Sheet Glass: Learn to layer different colors and textures.
- Glass Frit: Use crushed glass to create beautiful gradients or speckled “confetti” effects (as seen in our abstract designs).
- Glass Stringers: Add delicate lines and geometric details.
- Pre-cut Shapes: Easily create floral patterns like daisies or bold geometric motifs.
Design Your Vision:
Our instructors will help you assemble your masterpiece. You can choose to go Abstract, playing with bold stripes and cobalt blue textures; Botanical, layering greens and whites to create a garden-inspired daisy dish; or Modern, using sharp geometric angles and high-contrast colors.
The Magic of the Kiln:
Once your design is assembled, we will fire it in our professional kiln. During the “Full Fuse” stage, the glass melts together into a smooth, solid piece. Then, it undergoes a “Slump” firing over a mold to give it its elegant, curved functional shape.
Details:
- No Experience Necessary: Perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike.
- All Materials Included: We provide everything you need to create one custom-slumped dish.
Pick-up Note: Because glass requires a slow firing and cooling process, your finished bowls will be ready for pick-up approximately one week after the workshop.
