Class Descriptions

  • Stained Glass. $275 +tax

    In the beginning stained glass class, you will make a roughly 8x8 inch piece of art, using any glass that you choose! We will teach you how to cut and grind glass, how to apply copper foil, and how to solder and frame your piece. This is a two day class starting at 10:30 and ending at 4:00, with a lunch break.

    All glass and materials you use are included in the cost of the class.

    We also offer intermediate, and advanced stained glass classes. Call us for information on those!

  • Intro to Fusing and Slumping $195 +tax

    In this class, you will use Bullseye glass to create two plates. Using your choice of color in sheet glass, frit, and stringers, and your creativity, you will make something unique. Your first plate will be designed as instructed to get you comfortable with cutting glass, and the basic way fused pieces need to be assembled. The second plate will be designed by you. After your class, we’ll put your plate in the kiln overnight and the next day, they go into the kiln in a mold, ready to be picked up and used by the following week! All glass and materials you use are included in the cost of the class.

  • Stained Glass Mosaics. $275 +tax

    In our glass mosaics class, we will discuss theory and techniques, then begin working on a project of your choosing. Please bring a design that is 18x20 inches, this design can be anything you choose, a landscape picture is the most popular choice.You will trace your project onto your work surface, then decide what glass you’d like to use. We are available to help you pick if you need it! We’ll start the project and teach you different techniques to get the best outcome from the glass. This project is typically pretty time consuming, therefore you will be given glass to take home and work on the project at your own pace. Once you finish, we will schedule you for a second class, where we will teach you how to properly grout a glass mosaic piece. Once this step is complete, you can leave your piece with us for a few days and we will frame it in wood, with your choice of a variety of stains.

  • Fused Jewelry Class. $195 +tax

    In this introduction to fusing, you will learn about glass coefficient, how to determine the outcome based on kiln temperatures, and so much more. Using both dichroic and Bullseye glass, you will make several jewelry pieces, which will be fired in our kilns overnight, and can be picked up the next afternoon. When you pick up your pieces, you will pick out findings to glue on with provided epoxy, then take your pieces home to dry.

  • Fused Pictures $175 +tax

    Learn to fuse in a fun, artistic, and creative way. You will use frit, stringers, and sheet glass to create a picture. You will use an 11x14 inch piece of glass as your canvas, then layer frit and stringers. You are welcome to bring a picture blown up to that size, or just for general inspiration. Once you are happy with the picture, we will fuse it in our kiln overnight, and be available for pickup the next afternoon. If you decide you want to hang your piece, a zinc frame with hangers can be added.
