Class Description

Let's learn how to fuse and slump glass in a furnace called a kiln. We'll make cool designs by cutting out colorful sheets of glass. When we layer different colors on top of each other and fire them in the kiln, the glass fuses together into a finished object. We'll make small pieces of art that are perfect for your home!
