I will be offering several glass and jewelry classes this summer and fall. See below for details and to register. Additional spring-summer classes will be posted soon.
Contact me if you have a special class request or if you would like to be added to my email list for class updates.
Photos in Glass
Transfer your favorite photo or image into fused glass to create a one of a kind piece of art. Participants will email a digital copy of a photo to the museum prior to class so it will be ready to be transferred onto glass on the day of the class. After fusing the image into a plate or tray, the image will have a warm sepia tone.
