About the event
A great workshop to introduce children to the art of working with glass
Start with a clear glass base and an assortment of glass shapes in a variety of colors.
You will arrange the glass pieces into a design on your base.
Designs are then fired in our kiln to fuse together and shape.
The workshop includes general safety instructions and an overview of how to use the tools required to complete your project. We will show you several example projects and then you'll have the rest of the class to experiment and complete your design.
Glass Fusing projects are typically ready for pick-up after 2 weeks. (You will be contacted when they are done.)
We do not allow food and drink at the table during glass sessions.
