"Private Glass Studio Party" 2010
Fused Glass Workshops
The basic idea behind fused glass is that beautiful art objects can be created by melting glass in a kiln. Contemporary fusing methods involve stacking - layering thin sheets of glass - often using different colors to create patterns or simple images.
This workshop is suitable for people with or without experience in glass fusing. The small number of participants will ensure proper coaching that will lead to a successful creation and will foster a pleasant learning atmosphere.
