Glass Fusion: Two Projects	$ 80
Class Size: 8 - 10 people	Materials included
This class is an opportunity to make fused glass objects without a lot of technical lectures. No knowledge of glass art is required.  Most projects can be made using the collage method.  This class will include the basics of designing and preparing small projects for fusing and slumping.   The class projects are completed during the first two classes and the third class is for enhancement on projects, final questions and picking up finished projects. Two projects will be completed, for which materials will be supplied.   These materials include an extensive selection of compatible glass pieces, frit and stringers, plus copper wire, screen and foil.  The firings will take the class through fusing at different temperatures.  After the initial firings, the glass blanks can be placed on molds and fired again to slump them into plates or bowls.  A wide range of mold shapes will be available to choose from, including high-fire plaster. For every project, students will each have a 12" x  12" kiln shelf to use for their class work Wednesday afternoons      1 PM - 3 PM    August 4 through August 18            Wednesday evenings         7 PM - 3 PM    August 4 through August 18 Saturday afternoons          1 PM - 3 PM    August 7 through August 21

Experience the magical process of glass fusing in this two-hour dichroic jewelry workshop.  Dichroic glass has a shimmering effect similar to the iridescence observed in an opal.  The brilliant colors in the dichroic glass can be viewed by examining it at different angles. For this class, strips of dichroic glass will be prefired into a wave form.  Each student will weave these miniature strips together to create their own fused glass pendant.  All materials and tools are provided and the kiln firing of the pendants will be demonstrated at the end of class.
