SPRING FAMILY WORKSHOP: Tack Fusing, Bouquets & Landscapes (Families Ages 7+)

Course Description:
In this 2 hour glass fusing workshop adults and children will learn the basics of glass fusing by creating one tile each (8” x 8”) that will be kiln-fired at 1400 degrees - a low temperature that allows the glass elements of your design to stay 3 dimensional. To create your composition, you will work with powders, frit, confetti, copper shapes, stringers, and glass pieces. Landscapes and flowers are popular sources of inspiration, but you are welcome to explore other ideas. Your instructor will fire your creation in his own kiln. The glass creations will be returned within 2 weeks mounted in a white shadow box or frame, ready to be proudly displayed on a wall, a mantle or a table top. Cost per adult/child pair is $165.00. The workshop is open to adults and children 7 and up. No previous glass experience is necessary.
