Preserve the beautiful fall foliage in glass. In Part 1 of this class, you will learn how to combine powdered glass and dried leaves to create a custom sheet of glass. The leaves will be fired into a piece of glass that will be cut up and incorporated into a fused glass dish in Part 2.
You should bring several pressed flat, dried leaves with stems to class. Fern, maple, oak, ginkgo, ivy, etc. leaves work well with this process. All experience levels welcome. Sara Rezin, Instructor
Create a personal piece of art.
Transfer your favorite black and white photo or image into fused glass to create a one of a kind piece of art.
Choose a photograph that you would like fused into glass:
Send your image to the museum email address: [email protected]
We will create a decal of your image that will then be added to your glass project on the day of the class. After fusing, your image will have a beautiful warm sepia tone, and will be permanently saved in glass.
