It’s Only the Beginning – Introduction to Glass Fusing
Getting a good foundation into glass fusing makes all the difference. This class is for beginners and people who may be self-taught who what to learn the basic building blocks of glass fusing.
We will cover everything from different types of glass available and what to use them for; safety; different kilnform processes; firing schedules; what the glass is doing in the kiln; and some design concepts. We will even discuss other advanced kiln processes that you can explore going forward.
This class will focus on the beginning, going over full fusing, tack firing and slumping. You will create a flat piece(s) which will be slumped in a mold and a tack fired art piece. All this will be covered in three 3 hour classes.

All glass, tools, supplies needed
Three firings to complete a full fuse, tack fuse and slumping
Dates: April 19th, 26th and May 3rd
