Fused Glass Ornament Class

I had a fused glass ornament class last weekend. Some of my prior students and I had some new students as well. Here are some pictures of the class setup. Each person has their own station with their tools. I also had lots of supplies for them. Of course, because it’s at my studio they have lots of options of supplies and ornaments to make.

As always, I had the liability forms out as well as options for their free gift which included pendants, stirrers, or wine charms.

As always, I have all my rooms made up and ready for my students. The first group is my finishing room, my finished room, my screen-printing room, and my gallery area. I think having all these rooms set up show the students how much time and effort goes into my fused glass artwork and to give them an option of purchasing fused glass.

The first set of pictures is of Kayla’s creations – she is the one who set up the class and she wanted to make a few extras for her co-workers. Very inventive, she also used several pieces of equipment.

The next set is Chris’s pieces, she only made two, but the gnome is amazing and isn’t the bow tie adorable! I love how her, and her daughter take the classes together.

Here are Brit’s creations. Brit’s taken several classes and she is a joy to work with.

Brit brought both her sister and her mom – I love giving classes to families. The interactions between Brit and her mom and sister were hilarious. These are Alicia’s Fused Glass creations.

Last but not least here are pictures of Tammy creating her ornaments. I loved how she used 2 different ear muffs – very cool.

I know what you are thinking, did I make any ornaments. Yes, but only 1, I have been wanting to make a gnome so now I have, he’s smaller than Chris’s but I think he’s cute. Between this class and the Festivitea class, the kiln was FULL several times over, hence the only 1. BTW this is the picture of the table after we were done, I think you can tell how much fun people had by the mess. I love it!

Please let me know (elegantfusedglass@gmail.com) if you have any questions or would like to have a private fused glass class all you need is 3 people to create a class (maximum of 5).
