Glass Fusing and Slumping Classes and Workshops

Fusing and Slumping - an intense full featured class

Class Number 1101 This is a beginners workshop but not one of those "cookie making" fusing class where you lay up a few pieces of glass (cutting and arranging) and someone fires it for you. This workshop is a serious beginning workshop geared toward more technical information such as compatibility and stress testing, annealing, firing procedures, troubleshooting, fusing AND slumping, small to large pieces and MULTIPLE pieces, how to have more success with each firing, using small and large kilns and controllers, etc.  to sign up call us at 1-800-9HOTGLASS.
