Glass
fusing is one of the most versatile
ways of working with glass today.
Join in this fun filled, hands-on,
information packed, exciting class.
No experience is necessary and you
don’t have to be an artist to learn
this technique. Beginners will make
six pieces of jewelry. Learn the
basics of glass cutting, placement
and firing while receiving extensive
information on the technical aspects
of kiln-work, safety, and studio set
up. Tools, glass and firing are
provided. The class will then
explore bronze metal clay. Like its
precious-metal counterparts, bronze
clay can be pinched, rolled,
sculpted, cut or manipulated any way
you like. When fired the binder
burns away leaving a solid, pure
bronze object.
