First Fused Glass Class- Plate Making
- In this 2.5-hour class, you will be introduced to the fundamental concepts of creating glass objects in the kiln. You'll get to design and build your own 8” x 8” fused and slumped plate! Choose from a wide range of colorful glasses to make your plate special. Plates will be fired after the workshop and available for pick-up a few days later. No experience with glass is required for this course, which is recommended for beginners.

Beginning Kiln Glass Sgraffito Drawing
This intensive workshop is a 'crossover’ course, bringing fine art and fine craft together~
You will learn to create two dimensional imagery in glass, using a variety of glass powders. We will explore traditional ideas of drawing using a non-traditional approach; using glass to interpret line, value, contrast, texture, color, and composition.
In addition to learning technical processes, you’ll have freedom to experiment with ways of creating pieces that tell a story, evoke emotion, and express mood.
Previous drawing experience is not necessary, but some fusing experience is helpful. By the time you leave you will have gained a new awareness of the visual language that is possible with kiln formed glass, as well as confidence in your ability to “see” as an artist.
Additional topics to be covered: Kiln formed cane and murrini, collage part sheets for sgraffito drawing, tool making, incorporating color, reactive glass, volume control, firing schedules, and finishing.
