This is a glass fusion studio. I went with a small group (about a dozen) to take the Fused Glass Basics class. The outcome was a 6 inch bowl designed by me.
This was a pretty fun outing -- with a surprising number of budding artists in our group.
Credit must be given to the 2 owners for making the education part fun, informative, and interesting. The first 30 minutes is a presentation of how to handle the glass, break it, shape it, stack it, etc.
Each person starts with a clean slate. There are loads of different types of supplies -- very thin shards, speckles of glass, all colors and then tools to shape your design. From an uneasy feeling that we were going to fail, the intro gave us the confidence to produce our masterpieces.
You will not take home your masterpiece that evening. It has to melt and be shaped, so expect some days to pass and a return trip to pick up your item.
If you're with a group, you can bring snacks, but snacking pretty much ends when glass manipulation begins.
The two artists circulate and provide design advice but you are the artist. read more
