Glass Fusion

Glass Wall Art

Students will work to build a rectangular piece of wall art. Constructing with glass, students will think in terms of color combinations and imagine them being layered.  Over this 2-class course, students will create a variety of pieces which will be fused together completely.

 

Due to drying and firing times, glass will be ready to pick up 12-14 days after the class session is finished.
