Description
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. Students will be responsible for additional tools ($30) and these will be discussed on the first night of class.
