Our introductory fusing class provides you with the basic technical and practical skills necessary to start fusing on your own. The class includes basic cutting skills, firing schedules, safety topics, and design techniques. You will have an opportunity to try out the various tools available to work with glass. This is a one-day, hands-on class in which you will foster your fusing knowledge while assembling an 8” square project using one of several patterns provided. Your final art can be used as a plate or display piece.
All materials are included. No previous experience required.
