Introduction To Fusing Glass:

Beginning Fused Glass Class 101

Welcome to our beginning class in the art of fused glass. Fusing is great fun and requires no previous skills except basic glass cutting. The important aspects of basic fusing and slumping techniques will offer you a solid foundation upon which to build in this fascinating art form. Imagine your creative input and a finished piece of art glass in the form of a plate, bowl, or jewelry. Our glass studio space here at Art duJour, just for glass fusing, offers many materials to inspire that first project as well as a charming ambiance along with the opportunity to connect with other talented creative types.

We will cover glass choices and preparation, how to use a kiln, firing programs and annealing times, and record-keeping for repeatable results. If you have ever wondered what that "fusing stuff" was or you have recently purchased a kiln and are asking yourself what now? This is the class for you.
