Glass fusing involves heating pieces of glass in a kiln until they bond together. It's a creative and artistic process that allows you to design and create unique glass art pieces.
No prior experience is necessary! Our studio is open to all skill levels, from beginners to experienced artists. We are here to guide you through the process.
No, all glass is cut for you. You will use glass embellishments that we provide to create your piece of art.
No, the kiln will be operated by the Glass Fusion Studio staff. Your only job is to create a masterpiece and enjoy the process!
Please wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little dirty. Closed-toe shoes are required for safety reasons.
Participants must be at least 10 years old. Children and glass can be a bit of a scary combination for us! But you know your child better than anyone. If they're beyond the age of putting random stuff in their mouth and can respect others' space, they're welcome to join the fun. At Glass Fusion Studio, it's Safety first, masterpieces second!
A typical workshop lasts two hours. This includes designing, arranging, and gluing your glass pieces to your creation.
NO! We provide all the necessary materials for your project. We use COE 96 glass that is melted and cooled down at specific temperatures and times. When glasses with different COE are fused together, they expand and contract at different rates during heating and cooling. This mismatch can create internal stress within the glass, causing it to crack or shatter. Not only can you damage your project, but others that are in the kiln too.
We know your fused glass project will be crafted with care, passion, and sometimes, just a sprinkle of chaos. Bubbles, quirky shapes, and happy little accidents often sneak their way in—consider these unique features part of the artwork's handmade charm and character! Rest assured, we stand by your creation and will work with you to make things right.
Your finished piece will need time to cool and undergo additional processes after fusing. Typically, your artwork will be ready for pickup within seven days. After the initial full fuse, some projects require an additional fuse to slump the piece into a mold. We’ll notify you once your masterpiece is ready for pickup!
