Classes offered
Fundamentals of Fusing
Fusing is the technique of cutting and layering pieces of cold glass to create an object. Once the design is complete, it is placed in a kiln and heated until the individual pieces fuse together. Detailed patters can be created by fusing combinations of glass to create larger pieces.
In this introductory class, students will learn the basics of glass cutting, designing and fusing. For their first project, students can create their own trivet or coaster or another simple project of their own design. As a first step, students will sketch out a desired design, learn how to cut glass and then translate their design into glass. Students will then place their completed designs into the kiln for firing. Pieces will be available for pick up 48-72 hours after the class. Each class is 2 hours.

Returning Students
After successful completion of the beginner glass fusing class, returning students can explore creating other shapes such as suncatchers, jewelry, dragonflies, animal (or creature) shapes, or wall hangings. At the beginning of each class, students will sketch the piece; Lynn will make adjustments to the design as needed. In these sessions, students will gain proficiency on glass design, glass cutting, and layering. Each class is 2 hours.

Intermediate Glass Fusing: Slumping
After the successful completion of the beginner glass fusing class, students can learn the process of slumping. Slumping is the process of creating a three-dimensional shape. A fused piece can be slumped by placing the fused flat glass in a mold and heating it in the kiln a second time. As the piece softens it gradually takes the shape of the mold. Fusing and slumping can be used to create functional objects such as tiles, plates, bowls, or other sculptural work. Each class is 4 hours.
