Morning and afternoon workshop — 6 students per class
A fun and breezy introduction to glass fusing. Participants explore the expressive dynamics of color and light as they cut and collage colored glasses to fuse (melt) together, making their own fused glass pendant.
Once cooled, the fused glass pendant can be drilled or have a bail attached for hanging. You can also add embellishments like wire or other decorative elements, providing students with steps and methods for creating their own dynamic designs with lively color play and personally meaningful abstractions in fused glass and learn Kathrhine's precision glass cutting techniques. Glass assembly and kiln firing technologies are also covered.
The class meets on Saturday morning, August 30th, 10 AM -1 PM afternoon 1 PM-4 PM
Complimentary Ice cream sandwiches from, Polar Bear Homemade Ice Cream
