Introduction to Glass Fusing Workshop

Adult Intensive | Available

Learn to fuse and slump glass in the kiln. We'll create designs by cutting colored sheet glass, using glass stringers, rods and frits. By layering patterns and firing glass in kilns, students can create tiles, bowls, plates or panels. No previous experience needed.

  • Please wear closed-toe shoes. Certain materials are included for in-class projects, but additional materials will be available for purchase. Most students can expect to spend between $20-$70 on extra glass.

    Accessibility notes: Many artmaking processes require the ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time, fine motor skills/finger dexterity, repetitive motions, vision, and some amount of physical strength. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible. Please reach out to info@visarts.org with specific questions related to accessibility or accommodations.

    Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.



    On-site courses do not come with studio access outside of class time. Paid open studio access is available through our Studio Access Program. Please visit visarts.org for more information.
