Fused Glass Classes at Architectural Glassarts
Glass fusing is a technique where multiple layers of glass are melted together to create a design. Our classes are suitable for beginners all the way to advanced. Once you've taken a class, you will have the skills to create your own works of art, confidently, and you are able to use our studio space during open studio hours. The cost of all classes includes materials and firing in the kiln. Independent students will purchase their own supplies and pay a flat rate fee to fire their pieces.
