Memories of special occasions need to have a special frame. Make a fused glass picture frame to display that special 4"x6" photo of a recent wedding, Mother's Day or a graduation.

You will learn how to cut and nip pieces of fused glass, build your frame, and have it fused in a kiln. It will then be glued onto an acrylic standing display.

Lots of fun ways to decorate the glass frame with glass embellishments.

All glass and materials provided, and no previous fusing knowledge is needed.

Tuition: $135

In this 2 hour class, you will learn how to cast fused glass shapes by filling molds with crushed glass called “frit”. Many molds will be available for you to chose from including many different jewelry pendant shapes and other fun ones. The resulting pieces can then be later made into jewelry, or sun catchers, or can be tack-fired onto a fully fused piece. You will have time to make 2-3 pieces, and will have many colors of frit to choose from. No prior fusing experience required. All materials will be provided. If you have some casting molds, please feel free to bring them, preferably already treated with kiln release.

Also will need to bring your own mask since we will be working with glass powders.

Tuition is $135.

Using glass powders, you can create your own unique fungus mushroom top. You will learn to safely handle glass powders (every one is used to wearing a mask now!), which you will then mix with water and drop on a round piece of fusible glass. You can then rake the powder slurry around to create interesting patterns.

After it is fused in the kiln, it will be glued to a copper stem so you can stick it in your garden.

No previous fusing or glass experience required and all glass, tools and copper pipe are provided. But you will need to bring a KN95 mask at least since we will be working with glass powders.

Tuition: $135

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 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.

This is a 2 night class. The first night, you will cut out your pattern, select your glass and build the colored layer. In the second night, 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.

In this fun 2-day glass fusing class, you will get to design 2 dichroic pendants that you build and then engrave with your own artwork!
Picasso loved to bend the rules and boldly manipulate shapes and colors! So on one pendant, you will get to bring out your inner Picasso! On your second pendant, you learn how to use ink stamps on the dichroic surface to help create a design. On the first night, you will build your pendants and they will be fired in the kiln. Then the second night, you will then use a dremel to engrave your design in permanently onto your pendants! Then they will be fire-polished and bailed!

Tuition is $195
Includes all glass and use of tools. (if you have a dremel, feel free to bring it)
Got ink stamps that you love? Bring them or use one of ours! Or better yet, freehand!!

Design and build 2 of your own pendants with vibrant, patterned dichroic fusing glass. This is glass that takes on 2 different shiny colors, depending on the light.

In this class, you will create your design with small fragments of dichroic glass, then cap it with a clear piece of glass to make it smooth, like the surface of a cabochon!

This class is a very fun and relaxing 1 1/2 hour workshop for beginners!

Tuition and materials is $135.
