This is a favorite art experience for kids in Park City. Glass and tile are great mediums for growing confidence in a child’s creativity. The students are given lots of freedom in their choice of design and project goals. They learn skills in cutting, placing, grouting and finishing a mosaic masterpiece. Students return year after year and become extraordinarily proficient in this art form. This is an art piece they will be proud of their entire lives.

Parents must accompany kids in this class. Gloves and protective eyewear is provided, but children under the age of 6 cannot participate. To allow for drying and grouting time, pieces will be ready 1 week after class, and can be picked up at the front desk.
Glass Fusion II
Learn the basics of glass fusion while creating one of a kind glass projects in class. We will explore the use of tools used to shape and form glass. Properties and types of glass will be discussed, as well basic design concepts, resulting in the completion of several finished projects. Class will cover the use of reactive glasses, the use of frit, rod, and dichroic to create patterns in glass and the use of inclusions in glass such as silver foil. Cold working techniques will be demonstrated to put a finishing touch on the fused glass piece. This class is for beginners and intermediate students continuing their practice in glass fusion. Due to slumping and firing times, glass pieces will be ready for pick up 12-14 days after class has ended.
