Tack Fusing: Landscapes & Bouquets *In-Person* *NEW*
In this 2 hour glass fusing workshop you will learn the basics of glass fusing by creating one tile (8” x 11”) that will be kiln-fired at 1400 degrees - a low temperature that allows the glass elements of your design to stay 3 dimensional. To create your composition, you will work with powders, frit, confetti, copper, stringers, and glass ribbons. Landscapes and flowers are popular sources of inspiration, but you are welcome to explore other ideas. Your instructor will fire your creation in his own kiln. A $95.00 materials fee per student will be included in the tuition. The workshop is open to adults and teenagers accompanied by a participating adult. No previous glass experience is necessary. Instructor: Michel L'Huilllier Safety note: Students must wear closed toe shoes. Safety glasses are required and will be provided for students not wearing eyeglasses.
