Fused Glass: Techniques & Kiln Processes (6-Week Session)
Dive deep into the art of fused glass in this immersive 6-week class designed for curious beginners and returning students alike. Meeting once a week for three hours, students will explore a variety of fused glass techniques while gaining a solid understanding of the kiln firing process from start to finish.
Over the course of the session, you’ll design and create three or more unique fused glass projects, learning skills such as glass cutting, layering, tack fusing, full fusing, and finishing techniques. Along the way, you’ll be introduced to kiln schedules, firing styles, and how heat transforms glass—giving you the knowledge to confidently plan future projects.
This class offers a relaxed, supportive environment with plenty of hands-on instruction, demonstrations, and guided studio time. Whether you’re brand new to glass or ready to expand your skills, you’ll leave with beautiful finished pieces and a deeper understanding of the fused glass process.
All tools, equipment, and kiln firings are included. We have glass available for purchase.
Expect to pay $40-150 on glass depending on what you choose to make. Some glass is more costly than others. You may purchase fused glass from outside, but please attend our first class to ensure you know what you need to get.
