Beginning Fusing

This course has been designed for the beginning fuser. If you’ve ever wanted to learn the ins & outs of fusing, here it is.

In this 6-week course you’ll learn the basics of fusing from cutting skills, the difference between 90coe & 96coe, & the fusing process, from building your piece to firing your piece. We will cover the vocabulary of fusing to help you with future projects. Each week we will go over a new technique, from using Stringers, Noodles, Dichroic glass, incorporating frit into your project & more.

This class meets once a week for 6 weeks.

Intermediate/Advanced Fusing

This course is for the more experienced fuser who doesn’t need the beginning course, and doesn’t need a whole lot of guidance in creating your beautiful works of art. There will be advanced projects offered weekly, or you can just do your own thing. Your instructor will be in class to help you when you get stuck or have questions.

 

If you’re interested in taking any of these classes, please call the studio or stop by in person to sign up. Make sure you have which day of the week you would like to take your class so we can hold your space.

To be fair to everyone, classes are on a first come first serve basis. We will be adding afternoon classes & evening classes in April for more people to enjoy this fine art.
