WINTER FAMILY: Glass Fusing Workshop

Course Description:     
In this 2 hour workshop you will learn the basics of glass fusing while having fun playing with glass shapes, colors and textures.

Then, you’ll design and create a low relief tack fused tile, then a small dish. Kids will have the option to create a fused night light instead of a plate. Your instructor will fire your creations in his own kiln. They will be available at The Umbrella Arts Center within two weeks.
