Made-in-Studio: Glass Fusion

Class Description

Friday April 3, 1-4pm Have you ever been curious about fusing glass? Come experience it first hand and make a small piece to hang in your window (or your wall) and one to give away to a child who attends Camp Erin, a weekend camp experience for grieving children that is sponsored by Caring Matters*. The class will provide clear instruction about cutting and chopping glass to construct your piece, show some of the varieties of fused glasses and show you. A few experienced glass cutters will be on hand to help! Both pieces will be available for view the following week after a kiln firing. You will pick which you want to keep and which you want to donate. If there is time, you may be able to do an additional donation. Because of the nature of the glass and limited tools, there will be an 8 person class limit. Ages 16+ are welcome to join! Bring your curiosity and your creativity and let’s have fun! *Caring Matters is a not-for-profit organization that serves children, adults and families facing serious illness and grieving the death of a loved one. Caring Matters also increases community awareness and advocacy about end-of-life concerns, advance care planning and grief. Susan Blumen (#blumensusan on instagram) has played with these sharp glass objects since 2009…a lot more now that she is fully retired from training, coaching and professing.
