What is glass fusing?

Fused Glass Art Coasters

Glass fusing is a process of joining individual pieces of glass together in a kiln, almost like baking in an oven. This beginner-friendly process is a fun and relaxing way to let your creative juices flow. 

In our fusing classes and workshops you will be provided with a wide selection of colored sheet glass, rods and stringers, which can be cut and/or ground into different shapes. These pieces will then be arranged onto a base, placed into the kiln and melted until all the elements are adhered. 

Our Classes

We are excited to offer a variety of glass fusing classes and workshops ranging from a one time 'create your own' experience, to multi-week skill building courses.

Each session can accommodate up to 8 students.
