Fused Glass Jewelry & More
Create beautiful handmade jewelry!
May 25, 2-4:30pm
Join Suzanne Balestri to learn the basics of Fused Glass and create your own glass jewelry to keep for yourself or give as a gift. This fun workshop offers a perfect introduction to Kiln-Formed (fused) glass for beginners, and allows those who have worked with glass before to hone their abilities and finesse their skills. You will learn how fused glass differs from other forms of art glass, how to use the various tools involved in creating glass art, and how to cut and grind the glass you will be using in your wearable art project. Using a colorful array of glass and pre-fired adornments, you’ll construct abstract or representational designs to be fashioned into earrings, pendants, rings, cuff links, even belt buckles! Each student will have plenty of space in the kiln for several items! Your pieces will be fired in a glass kiln to completely fuse each design into one solid piece, and will be ready for you to pick up the following week.
Workshop fee includes pre-workshop instructional videos, all glass, equipment, and kiln firing of several pieces.
This workshop is recommended for All Skill Levels – Ages 13 and up. Children 8+ years welcome with adult. Beginners welcome!
