FALL SCHEDULE
Art of the Vessel: First Time Fusers Workshop
The love of glass often begins with an elegant functional form. Learn the fundamentals of glass fusing and slumping as you create your own vessels and plates. Students will learn to cut and assemble glass designs that will be kiln fired and then sagged into molds. Color and design options will be explored. All materials, use of tools, and kiln firings are included. This class is essential for beginners and beneficial for those with some glass experience that would like to expand their knowledge in this area.
