Glass Fusing



We offer one of the “HOTTEST” art forms around—Glass Fusing. This fascinating craft, also known as "Warm Glass" involves nothing more than placing pieces of different glass in shapes and patterns to create a design. The pieces are then “fused” together in our kiln. The result can then have findings attached to make pins, pendants or other jewelry, wall hangings, window valances, etc. or can be fired again—over or into a mold ("slumped")—to create dishes, plates, bowls, vases, or more. If you like doing puzzles, you’ll love doing fused glass.

Introductory Class

This is your best value. Cost is $75 per person and takes roughly 2 hours. The first half will be learning all the basics of safely cutting, assembling and firing “Fused Glass.” The second part of the class includes making two basic Fused Glass projects: a medium sized base, plus a small pendant (about a $45 total value). Once you've taken the class, you can then come in and work on any glass project you'd like, using any or all of the tools and materials we have available for glass work—basically open studio time. Prices for those subsequent projects will vary, according to the sizes, firings, and type(s) of glass you use.

Walk-In Basic Glass Projects

You can certainly walk in and do a glass piece without having to take the class, but you will be limited to only using standard bases, pre-cut components and any available scraps. Our staff will only give you limited instruction on what to do to prepare your piece for the kiln, but will not be available for custom cutting any glass. Prices will vary according to the size and complexity of the project, firings needed and the type(s) of glass you use.
