Why should adults have all the fun? This class will spend four weeks going over low-fire glassworking techniques like kiln fusing, coldworking (working with unheated glass), mosaic, and more! The projects will be simple and may vary depending on the material and technique being covered that week.

This class has no prerequisites and is specifically set up for absolute beginners to this art form. Our Glass Studio does have some safety basics that must be met before anyone is allowed to join in the fun (failure to meet these requirements will result in not being granted access to the equipment):

  • Please come dressed in closed-toe and closed-heel shoes, and natural material clothing, i.e. cotton or linen; long pants are recommended
  • No loose or dangling jewelry, long earrings, or scarves.
  • If you have long hair, please have it securely tied back from your face.
  • We will provide safety goggles, but if you have your own and would like to bring them, please do!

Ages: 13 - 16

All supplies and materials will be provided during class.
