It will be a hands‐on learning experience offering an outlet for creativity for those who are artistically blessed\, as well as those who are artistically challenged. Petra will provide students with guidance and assistance\, demonstrating procedures and basic glass fusing techniques. She will include compatibility and testing\, annealing\, and slumping. Art glass\, frit\, stringers\, and high-fire paints will be used to produce tiles\, dishes\, jewelry\, bowls\, clocks\, and more. The advanced kiln-forming techniques take fusing to another level. Mold making\, pattern bars\, combing\, and casting will be some of the techniques explored. The costs of materials vary depending on the projects you create.Beginners will purchase their kits on the first day of class. The Beginning Student Kit is $125 and includes all the necessary tools and supplies you will need for your first project. Supplies are purchased directly from the instructor.Additional material costs will depend on the quantity of glass purchased and the size of the projects you choose to create. Glass purchases are measured by length & width. Each student invoice tracks all glass purchases and is to be paid to the instructor at the end of the session. Working in glass can become costly\, but Petra will show you how to use it economically; and the value of your finished work will generally exceed that of the materials. As Petra always says\, “Glass is difficult to mess up.” You will be able to create anything from functional to expressive\, from jewelry to sculpture\, from tableware to wall art. Nearly everything is possible in the craft of glass fusing.
