How It Works

Create a design in glass, we fire it in the kiln

You build a design from pieces of colored glass. We kiln-fire it so the pieces fuse together, then place the fused glass into a mold and re-fire — or "slump" it — into a final shape, be it a bowl, a platter or a plate.

Class pricing

The $35 class fee covers both firings. The first firing which makes a tile, and the second firing for the slump or mold to make your piece into a bowl, plate, or platter should you choose.

The glass fusing class process

Instructor-led class

Your first time with fused glass is always in a hands-on class. Our trained staff guide you through the types of glass pieces you can create and the kind of fusing that suits your final piece.

Tools and cutting

Learn to use a variety of cutting tools and grinders, and practice different cutting types before you commit to your design.

Every kind of glass

Design with sheet glass in a rainbow of colors and opacities, plus stringers, rods, noodles, frit, pebbles, chips and iridescent glass.

Kiln firing included

The $35 class fee covers both firings. The first firing which makes a tile, and the second firing for the slump or mold to make your piece into a bowl, plate, or platter should you choose.

Fused glass earrings & pendants

Making glass earrings or a necklace pendant isn't a class, so there's no $35 class fee — just the regular studio fee ($10 adults 13+, $6 kids 12 and under) plus glass materials. Stop in any time we're open. Want a guided project like a platter or bowl? That's our $35 glass fusing class.

Ages & Safety

Guided every step of the way

  • Yes, with adult supervision — glass fusing is typically suited to older children, teens and adults.

  • We provide the tools, safety guidance and demonstration before you cut a single piece of glass.
  • All firing happens in our own kilns at the studio, never at home.
