Would you like to transform an object that holds a special meaning for you into glass? This is a perfect class for all levels! In this class, you will learn how to create a silicone mold of your object and how to process it into a glass version of itself.
We will create detailed fused glass objects using the Freeze and Fuse technique.
The glass product created could be later on made into jewelry, incorporated in a bigger piece, or displayed as they are.
The Freeze and Fuse glass technique is when you take a premade silicone mold and "paint" powdered glass into the mold. The glass is then placed into the freezer to harden into a glass ice cube. Once frozen, the object can be removed from the mold and placed into a kiln and heated to fuse the glass powder into a solid form.
Items will be out of the kiln the following day, ready to be picked up.
Please wear closed-toed shoes.
