Fused Glass Workshop
with Twila Johnson
Are you interested in learning to fuse glass?
This workshop is your fun, fast way to cut and fuse art glass! We'll make small example fused glass projects and turn them into wearable art.
In this four-hour hands-on workshop you will:
• Learn glass fusing basics
• Cut and fuse COE 90 glass
• Learn safe kiln use
• Leave with finished pieces
You will work with glass, take home a completed project and learn the glass fusing basics you'll need to get started in warm glass. Experience with these small projects will prepare you for other kiln glass techniques, such as kilncarving or slumping.
