Create Your Own Fused Glass Jewelry and Holiday Ornaments | Class schedule and info

What? Why am I talking about Christmas in August? Well, one reason is because the holiday season always seems to creep up on me and then I am scrambling to fill holiday orders and create plenty of fused glass goodness for the holiday markets. The other reason is because you need time to find the right day to take these awesome ornament and jewelry classes! Last year, I waited too long to offer these classes and it made me sad, this year, I decided to start earlier. A lot earlier!

This year Sassy Glass Studio is offering classes for three different fused glass ornaments and a jewelry class! Holiday Ornaments to choose from this year include snowflakes, Christmas trees or picture frame ornaments and there are four class dates available. Jewelry Class is the perfect opportunity to create your choice of four jewelry pieces, such as pendants, earrings and rings, to give as gifts or keep for yourself.

Holiday Ornaments

You choose the ornament you would like to create and the date. All classes must be prepaid. Class size is limited to five students, so don't wait to book! Classes are about an hour {no more than two} and are perfect for anyone over the age of 10 {with adult present}. Depending on the ornaments you choose, you may be handling glass that has not been fired which could be sharp. You will not have to cut any glass! Ornaments will be ready for pick-up within one week.

{Snowflake}
These are the most popular Sassy Glass Studio holiday ornament of all time! Fused glass snowflakes are created from strips of glass, which will be pre-cut for the class in a wide variety of colors. All you have to do is choose the colors, assemble and we'll fire them for you! We'll even finish them with a silver bail and ornament hanger.
Class is only $75 and includes all materials and instructions to complete five snowflake ornaments

The Christmas Trees are super fun to make because you get to choose tiny colorful glass bubbles to decorate your tree! The fused glass trees will be ready for you so all you need to do is decorate your tree and then we will fire it for you. We'll finish each of your ornaments with a silver bail and ornament hanger too.
Class is only $75 and includes all materials and instructions to complete four Christmas Tree ornaments

New for 2014! This ornament is a little different than the others because you get to decorate it with your own photographs. Your will create 3 inch square fused glass photograph frames in your choice of colors, then you can use an adhesive, such as E6000, to attach photographs to the frames when you get them home. You simply assemble the the pre-cut pieces in your choice of colors and we'll fire them. A silver bail and ornament hanger will also be attached for you.

March of the Sassy Glass Studio Penguins


The penguins started with a plan and a design. The plan was to create fused glass penguins to decorate the tree in the Santa Hats kid's creativity area at Fantasy of Trees. My husband, Allan, and I are co-chairs for this particular area and I wanted our requisite Christmas tree to be extra special. The penguin design needed to be rather simplistic as I would have to cut the penguin body parts freehand. I chose the penguin above as the basic design and decided to to cut the black body parts as three sections: a half circle for the lower body, a triangle for the mid body and "arms" and a circle for the head. The entire penguin is about 4 inches long, so none of the parts are especially big. The white body parts were cut as two separate pieces- the head and the body. The last pieces are the two small triangles that form the feet.

The penguin body parts were assembled in the kiln and fired to a full fuse.

Once out of the kiln, the penguins were washed to remove any shelf paper residue.

The penguins faces were hand-painted using glass paints. Special care was taken to give the penguins a happy face.

Here are penguins waiting to be placed in the oven to set their painted faces.

After the penguins were placed in the oven for 40 minutes at 325 degrees their painted faces were permanent and their scarves were tied on and a dab of hot glue was added to make sure the scarves stayed put.

This penguin is awaiting the glue gun to fasten his scarf.

The penguins are ready to go to Fantasy of Trees.

The penguins are a wonderful addition to the Santa Hats Christmas tree. I also crafted the snowflakes on the tree.
The cute little penguins finally made their way to their destination. Time to party!
The penguin project was a lot of fun, but after handcrafting nineteen penguins I am pretty sure I will consider this a limited edition. Each of the penguins is $25 and they will be available for sale at the end of Fantasy of Trees on November 30th.
