Intro to Fused Glass (FULL)

This class is designed to build the skills of those new to fused glass. You will learn how to cut and shape glass;

the physical characteristics of fusible glass; the dynamics of how glass reacts to heat; the principles of designing simple

glass projects; and applying all of this into a simple, multi-layered glass project.

This class is a prerequisite for the two other fused glass classes offered in June.

Introduction to Glass Bowls

Introduction to Glass Bowls

*** Intro to Fused Glass is a prerequisite for this class. ***

This class will teach several techniques for making three-dimensional round glass objects. Students will employ

their existing knowledge and experience as well as use our class discussions and examples to personalize and embellish their

bowls. Instruction will include a very brief recap of the relevant concepts taught in Intro to Fused Glass as well as

detailed demonstration of using “circle cutting” tools and basic instruction on using small glass grinders to refine glass shapes.

Fused Glass - Transparent Overlay: Through the Looking Glass
Jun
15

Fused Glass - Transparent Overlay: Through the Looking Glass

*** Intro to Fused Glass is a

prerequisite for this class. ***

Transparent glasses may appear dull by comparison to the vivid, bold colors available in opaque glass, but are

ultimately more versatile than opaques because they have their own color. They can also be used to modify the color of

other glass, both transparent and opaque.



In this class we will discuss and demonstrate how to manipulate existing

colors, how to change the saturation of colors, and even make new colors.

The class will include a very brief recap of the relevant concepts taught in Intro to Fused Glass as well as an

explanation and demonstration of how to use sheet glass to dilute or deepen color saturation in transparent glasses. Additionally, students will be taught how to

use transparent glasses to create new opaque colors in an individual glass project. We’ll also provide basic instruction on using

small glass grinders if needed.

Fused Glass: Organic Burnout
Jun
17

Fused Glass: Organic Burnout

Organic Burnout technique, sometimes referred to as "Fossil Vitra", consists of layering glass powder directly on leaves (or other organic material) and placing the powder-coated leaves under a sheet of glass. When fired in a kiln, the organic material burns away and the glass powder is fused to the base sheet of glass.  This base sheet is then "slumped" into a functional object. 

  • Bring: All materials provided
