Fishy Fusion! | 5:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Instructor: Terry Mothersole
Here is the best kind of fish...one that you can cut up, clean and spice it up without any of the smell!!
In this intermediate 3 1/2 hour fusing workshop, based on a pattern book, “Warm Glass Plates and Platters” by Dione Roberts, you will have 4 different fish patterns to choose from: a large trout, a large mackerel, a small trout and a koi. You'll also learn a neat trick for hanging your glass art.
The materials and supplies for this class will include a fish pattern, a water-jet cut Bullseye COE 90 Tekta clear fish base, and all the glass and glass embellishments to spice up your fish. Tools will be available, but if you have a good glass cutter, feel free to bring it.
You will cut out your pattern, select your glass and build the colored layer. Then you will embellish your fish with glass frit, stringers, confetti, and paint (optional).
Your fish will then be full fused and slumped on a double-curve mold that we like to call the fish tail mold!
Tuition: $195
Basic glass cutting skills are required and fusing knowledge is recommended.
All materials and tools will be provided.
