Introduction to Glass Fusion

Glass fusion is a process in which you take a variety of glass and fuse it together with
high heat, in a kiln. You can shape it into a bowl, dish, plate, a vase, or leave it flat for a
windcatcher, a plant stake, a picture, pendants and earrings, or just about anything

you can imagine.

In this beginner class you will make either a plant stake or a small sun catcher. All work
will be completed during the class but you will have to return (at your convenience) to

pick up the finished piece, once it has been fired.

• This class will be a pre-requisite for all other classes and for independent work in the glass studio
• Please wear close toed shoes and bring your imagination!
