Glass fusing classes are in two part sessions. The first session the student will learn the basics of how to fuse glass, about System 96 glass and the compatability of fusing glass. They'll learn about kilns, firing schedules, frit, stringer and noodles and how that all applies to glass fusing.
Then, they will create a project for fusing. During the week those projects will be fired. The second session we'll discuss the projects, what worked, what didn't and then plan a second project. We'll also go a little further into the details of the firing schedules and kiln prep. The projects from the second session can be picked up during the week as they are fired.
You will receive a packet that includes information on the new, affordable Skutt kiln, System 96 fusible glass, a firing schedule and several patterns that you may use for your projects in class. Frit, stingers and noodles and various other supplies will be provided by Creative Glass.
Class tuition is $45.00. In addition, you'll need to purchase System 96 glass for your projects.
Students need basic cutting skills to attend this class. For an additonal $10 we offer a crash course on glass cutting. It's a 15 minute session, 1/2 hour prior to class, where you will be taught the basics of cutting glass. Your teacher will help you pick a project suitable for your cutting level. If you need this cutting course, please add the cutting course to your basket.
