    Overview:  
    In this workshop you will design and create two items, as long as time permits Your choice of a spoon rest form and also a petite/trinket bowl. Design a color palette that matches your kitchen decor or if you don’t have something in mind, spark your imagination with my book of colorful fused glass ideas. We will be working with icicle clear glass base for this workshop. Although these workshops are listed as beginner, the more you progress with glass design, the more amazing your piece of art glass will be! 

    This is a beginner class and for those that have some experience with glass, even better. Bring a notepad if you are serious about learning fused glass and bring your questions. We will work closely with each participant to carry out your selection of design. Participants that have attended workshops in the past can get started early and not go through the basic cutting glass instruction again. If this applies to you, in order to start early, you must arrive 15 minutes ahead and pick out your base design This is a must! 

    In this art glass workshop, you will learn what you need to know to do your first piece of kiln fused glass work. Topics discussed will be safety, glass compatibility, glass colorings, types of glass, tools needed, kiln information on fused glass manufacturers. Demonstrations of how to score and break glass, layout and design suggestions.   We will be working exclusively with COE96 Compatible glass. When your art piece is completed, it will be safely transported to Palm Cottage Studio where it will be carefully fired and annealed in a digital kiln for strength and durability Your finished artwork will be delivered to Angelika, President of Artist Guild of Columbia County for you to pick up. Other arrangements may be made. 

    Closed toe shoes must be worn. Safety glasses must be worn for eye protection during class for cutting, snipping glass and grinding glass and will be provided You are responsible for wearing the safety glasses provided!
