In this 3-hour workshop, participants will learn the basics of glass fusing while having fun playing with glass shapes, colors, and textures. First, learn how to use glass powders, frits, confetti, stringers, and copper sheets. Then, design and create your own sushi set: a big square plate (8" x 8”) or a long channel plate (4.25” x 13”), two individual dishes (6” x 6”), and one small dipping sauce dish (3” x 3”). The instructor will fire your glass creations in his own kiln. They will be available at The Umbrella within two weeks. The class is open to adults and teenagers accompanied by a participating adult. Materials fee covers all glass, tools, and kiln firing.
Important safety note: Students must wear closed toes shoes. Safety glasses will be provided.
