Glass Fusion III
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.
Mosaics 101 & 201 Workshop
Learn all you have ever wanted to know about mosaics. This class is meant for both beginners and experienced students. All materials and tools are provided to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece made of glass you have nipped yourself. We learn how to design, choose color, form the lines and shape the end in a fantastic piece of art. Beginners work on a project that will be on a shape of your choosing (shrine, heart, crown is my favorite). By the end of class you will be confident in all the skills needed to create art in this medium. Returning students will work on their own custom personal project, and are welcome to personally consult Katherine with their ideas and design (email us for Katherine’s contact details). A wonderful class for both beginners and experts to explore the mosaic medium!

Mosaics for Teens
Teens get creatively curious in this class! This class is a Park City favorite – each year students have focused on specific themes such as self-portraits, pets, and bugs. This year Katherine is teaching teens to design and cut out their own shape for mosaic making. This builds so much confidence in their creative journey. Returning students will continue to be challenged with new and exciting applications in the world of mosaics. Katherine will be bringing a kiln for those who wish to mosaic with fused glass pieces. This class is recommended for students ages 11 – 15.
