This workshop builds on the experience gained in beginner classes of basic fusing, but is still open to learners who are willing to play “catch up”. Skills learned in previous class will be expanded upon. In this workshop you will learn to turn a flat fused piece of glass into a bowl or plate. The finished bowl or plate will be more adventurous in design and the students will be introduced to more advanced techniques in fusing and slumping. Learn how to texture glass, use crushed & powdered glass, stringers and have fun with inclusions between layers of glass.
You will first fuse 2 or 3 pieces of glass-( Fusing – joining pieces
of glass together by melting them in a kiln ending in a flat piece of “fused”
glass). These flat pieces will then be slumped, draped or sagged to form bowls,
plates or vases. Some pieces may need to be collected in the morning of the
4th day due to firing in the kiln overnight.
Students should wear covered footwear (no thongs, sandals) and bring safety
glasses, notebook and pens. All tools, materials and morning/afternoon teas
& coffees included in cost. (Bring your own lunch or see catering options.)
