Glass Fusing Techniques

All Skill Levels: Young Adults & Adults

Create artworks from layering glass then firing in a kiln to full, tack or slump fuse temperatures.

These classes are great for students who have no previous glass experience or want a refresher on basic skills. Discover the art of kiln-forming including types of glass and basic principles of compatibility. Learn the hand tools and equipment for scoring, cutting, coldworking, etching and shaping glass. Choose from opal, transparent, iridized and streaky sheet glass, frit (crushed glass) and glass stringers. Students will learn design concepts and how to choose which technique will best accomplish their goal. Focus will be on process and exploring possibilities that can be achieved with glass. Please note: Advanced students are welcome to take this course and work independently with guidance from the instructor.
