Glass Fusing Workshops
What is Glass Fusing?
Glass fusing is like creating mosaic with pieces of cold glass: you cut & shape beautiful colors of glass to create a design, layering glass on a clear or colored base of glass and then we fire the glass piece in a kiln at about 1400º to melt –or fuse- together. It can be taken a step further and ‘slumped’ into a mold to create a more 3 dimensional form, like a dish or tray.
How does our studio work?
Our studio requires no experience. We’ll show you how to cut glass and use a few simple tools to create the shape you want, introduce you to all you all the different types of glass to design with and have staff on hand to guide you through your creation when you need help. Come by yourself or register with a friend, there is space for 6-8 students in a workshop. Workshop sessions are two hours.
Classes are not project specific: You like garden art and your friend wants to make a night light? No problem. The process of creating fused glass is the same no matter what you make! Prices range from $20 – $110. Ages 8+ are welcome (kids will need adult supervision and assistance) Please Note: ALL FUSED GLASS MUST MELT OVERNIGHT IN A KILN AND THUS CANNOT GO HOME WITH YOU THE DAY YOU MAKE IT. You will be given information about pick up during your class. Work is generally available one week after your fusing workshop, two weeks if it needs to slump. Shipping is available.
We require a $20 deposit for each person registered. This deposit will be credited toward the cost of whatever project you choose to make when you come. Simply click the "BOOK A CLASS" below!
Great activity for Group Outings!
Girl scouts, civic groups, church and work groups…a creative outing in our fusing studio is perfect for that ‘fun’ meeting! We have a handful of projects perfect for groups — priced in the $20-$45 range. Participants can mix and match projects or you can have everyone do the same thing….we are flexible! See below for group project ideas in photos! On occasion we can schedule a workshop for your group on days our fusing studio isn’t normally open. Email us or call to discuss.
Fusing Studio Hours
Wednesdays 4-6pm and 6:30-8:30pm
Fridays 1-3pm , 3:30-5:30pm and 6-8pm
Saturdays 10am-noon, 12:30-2:30pm and 3-5pm
Our experience has shown that most guests spend about two hours creating their project. With that said, some folks know they just take longer to do their creative thing or may choose to do a bigger project (a garden stake) that just takes more time. If you know that you’ll need more time, make a reservation for two slots. There is no cost for the time you are in our studio creating. You simply pay for the price of project you choose.
