Fused Glass Suncatcher
Class | Available
This workshop is open to all skill levels (beginners welcome—no prior glass experience needed).
With area expert, Cheryl Syminink, you’ll create one fused glass suncatcher featuring a 5-inch circle design while learning basic glass-cutting and shaping techniques, safe tool handling, composition and design fundamentals for fusing, and how fused projects are prepared for firing.
All materials are included, including glass for one 5-inch circular suncatcher, use of studio tools and supplies, and kiln firing.
Please bring a simple design idea or inspiration for your 5-inch circle (we’ll help you refine it in class),
After class, your piece will be kiln-fired and finished. It will be ready for pickup at our Tuckerton location approximately one week after the workshop. Students will receive a notification with pickup instructions.

In high school, her art teacher introduced her to glass mosaics. At the age of 16, she made her first mosaic. After graduating, she fell into a glass apprenticeship at the age of 18. She graduated Brookdale Community College with an Associates in Art. At the age of 23 she started The C-Glass Studio, and at the age of 26 became a full time glass artist.
An avid outdoorswoman and surfer, most of her art is nature and sea inspired.
