Sassy Glass Studio’s Fused Glass Classes
Beginner Fused Glass Class, which will also serve as the prerequisite for Intermediate Fused Glass Class, will provide students who are either brand-new to fusing glass or who need a refresher course with the opportunity to complete two basic fusing projects, one will be a set of four 4-inch coasters and the other is your choice of: 4 pendants, nightlight, or sun catcher.
Class schedule ::Schedule is for two 4-hour classes. The days and time can be set to accommodate your schedule (and mine too!).
Class #1
· Overview of fused glass and techniques complete with informational handouts and suggested books and websites to get more information and/or design ideas.
· Topics include kiln and mold preparation, glass selection, project design, firing schedules, safety, glass supplies, assembly, annealing, compatibility testing, slumping and draping, working with frits, stringers and noodles, inclusions, as well as many other wonderful things you have always wanted to know about fusing glass! Previous experience cutting glass is not necessary and will be covered as required.
· Students will create the set of 4 coasters and learn about the firing process in this hands-on class.
· Students will be advised to determine the choice of second project before the end of Class #1 to ensure supplies are on hand, etc.
Class #2
· Students will review of the coasters created in Class #1 and finish the coasters as necessary.
· Students will create the remaining piece(s) in the hands-on portion of the class and place them in the kiln for firing.
· Students will review topics covered during classes as well as some more in-depth information about glass fusing and what can be expected in Intermediate class.
Note: Students can arrange pick-up or delivery of items completed in Class #2
A question and answer period will conclude each class. Handouts are included and recommended reading list will be provided. No books are necessary for the classes.
My goal for Beginner Fused Glass Class is to provide all participants with an overall understanding of fused glass and the various techniques involved in the creation of some basic pieces. Intermediate Fused Glass Class will allow participants to explore more advanced techniques and fusing methods and complete two complex projects involving slumping and/or draping.
