Glass Fusing is the process of 1) taking pieces of glass in a variety of shapes and sizes and stacking them together into two or more layers of glass to create a design and then 2) placing the finished glass piece into a kiln where the whole project melts (i.e. fuses) together into a single layer. Learn how to create beautiful art made entirely of glass! Fused glass projects include jewelry pendants, earrings and bracelets, magnets, tiles, sun-catchers, wine bottle stoppers, nightlights, plates, bowls, votive holders, vases & more. It is so simple, anyone can do it. No prior experience is needed - we'll show you how to do everything! You can make great gifts or wonderful art pieces for your home. Recommended for ages 9 and up.
Glass projects range from $5-$80, depending upon size and shape and whether or not slumping is required. There are no studio fees with glass fusing projects! The price includes studio time, glass, use of materials, design tools, firing and staff assistance.
Don't throw out your empty beverage bottles...bring them into Hands On and let us slump them into a gift for a friend or family member! Slumped wine bottles are simply wine bottles that have been flattened into a tray or melted into a bowl shape. They make great cheese boards, serving trays, spoonrests, soap dishes, candy dishes.
