Glass Fusing
 |
Choose a Glass BaseChose a size, shape and color for your base. Bases come in black, white, and clear. You can choose a square or round in several sizes. The price of your piece depends on the base size you choose. Also decide if you would like to have your glass piece slumped into a shape like a bowl, plate, or votive. |
 |
Create Your DesignGlass comes in different colors and can be transparent or opaque. Shapes can be cut with tools or you can use pre-cut chips, strips, rods (pencil thick strips), noodles (thin strips), or frit (powdery glass). Stack your glass pieces in layers, mosaic style, to the base with a little Elmer’s glue. Check out our samples or glass idea books! |

Fire it Up!Your glass will go into the kiln to be flattened or fused. If you desire to slump your glass into a shape, it will go through the kiln a second time. Please see staff to inquire about glass turn-around time. |
