558. Stained Glass and Fused Glass – Your Choice!
Class - Glass | FULL
Welcome to this class offering the option of working in traditional copper foil method stained glass construction or fused and slumped glass (kiln fired). You can also choose to combine methods in one creation, fusing a piece to use in a stained glass panel. Both art forms require skills such as cutting and grinding glass, which you’ll learn along with design considerations. You’ll choose and purchase your own glass and accompanying materials, depending on the project you’d like to pursue. Sources and list discussed at the first class. Tools and equipment are available to share while in class, and some outside studio time is available to work on projects between classes. Sawtooth may need to limit the number of firings dependent on kiln availability. Age 14+.
