LLCFT 309 - Fused Glass Art with Recycled Glass

Learn how to make beautiful and creative fused glass art using bottle glass, molds and a kiln. Bottle glass - in the form of whole bottles or sheet glass made from bottles - is an inexpensive alternative to art glass, and its use as a raw material is great for the environment. We'll start with the absolute basics, including an introduction to the tools you'll need, and work our way through weekly projects that will become increasingly (but enjoyably!) more complex. No experience necessary, please provide your own work gloves and safety glasses (obtainable from your local hardware store) and wear close-toed shoes to all classes. Special fee covers all materials and firings. You will need to bring your own glass tools ($30), for suppliers find a list online or call 801-587-5433.
