Not sure what you want to make? Don’t worry—I’ve got plenty of fun and creative fused glass options to inspire you! Some class favorites include fused glass plant stakes, drink stirrers, puppy paw prints, colorful hearts, vases, votives, and night lights. You’ll choose your own fused glass project and then bring it to life using a wide variety of vibrant materials like vitrigraph, frit, murrine, millefiori, and more. The image below showcases just a few examples of my fused glass creations to help spark ideas. Whether you’re crafting a one-of-a-kind gift or making something special just for you, I promise you’ll create with a fused glass piece that reflects your style and creativity.
Here’s another fused glass art piece you can create in class—a vibrant and textured tree design! Whether you choose to make a single seasonal scene or a whimsical four-season tree, this project is incredibly fun and creative. You’ll get to play with color, texture, and layout to bring your own vision to life. It’s always a class favorite, and no two trees turn out the same—which makes each one extra special. You’re going to love making it and showing it off!
You can also create a beautiful, fused glass dish—a versatile and functional piece that’s as fun to make as it is to use! Whether you design it as a spoon rest, trinket dish, tea bag holder, or a spot for your rings or keys, the possibilities are truly endless. You’ll get to play with colors, patterns, and textures to craft a dish that suits your style or makes a perfect handmade gift. Each dish is fired and slumped in the kiln to give it a smooth, finished shape you’ll be proud to show off.
You can also create these adorable, fused glass flower vase magnets—a bright and cheerful way to bring a little art and color to your fridge or workspace! Each one is uniquely made with layers of colorful glass, frit, and murrine to form a blooming bouquet in a tiny vase. They’re fun to design, easy to personalize, and make sweet gifts or keepsakes that are both functional and beautiful.
Of course, you can also create stunning fused glass dichroic pendants and earrings! These shimmering pieces are always a favorite—they catch the light beautifully and come in a dazzling array of colors and textures. Whether you prefer bold, geometric designs or soft, organic shapes, there’s something magical about working with dichroic glass. I wish the photos could fully capture how vibrant and eye-catching these pieces are in person—they truly sparkle!
