Glass fusing is the bonding of separate pieces of glass by high heat, administered in a kiln. It is one of the the fastest growing art mediums of today! It’s easy to learn the basics of glass fusing, it’s fun and the possibilities are endless.

New to glass fusing? Don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place. At The Glass Bar, we work with beginners everyday, accessing each individual’s skill level. We have developed a master plan to ensure that each student is calm and confident before we move on.

Glass fusing classes at The Glass Bar are your perfect opportunity to explore a new art form with no commitment!

Jordan, the owner of The Glass Bar, has been passionately devoted to glass work since she first began working with the medium in 2011. She also has a background in education, and is eager to work with students of all skill levels. She has designed her glass fusing classes with beginners in mind, (no experience necessary!)

# Activity details

Create your own unique fused glass pocket heart! In this hands-on class, you’ll learn the basics of glass fusing while crafting small, vibrant heart pieces that fit perfectly in your hand or pocket. We'll guide you through the process of selecting, cutting, and arranging colorful glass elements to design your own heartfelt keepsake. Perfect for all skill levels, this workshop is a fun and meaningful way to create a one-of-a-kind token of love or friendship that you can carry with you or gift to someone special.

## What's included

• Instruction, Use of Tools, and Materials and Firing
• Design and creation of 12 fused glass pocket hearts (approx. 2")

## Itinerary

We will start the glass with a lesson in safety, then move to basic cutting skills.
Students will move onto prepping the hearts for design by cutting a base layer of clear, then moving on to cutting and adding colored class to design the piece.
Pieces will be left at The Glass Bar for firing and will be ready to pick up after about a week.

## Highlights

What makes classes at The Glass Bar special is our level of instruction and care.
All of our instructors are glass artists themselves, so you're not getting instruction, you're getting experience.
We set ourselves apart by ensuring no student gets left behind. Each beginner that walks out of our door leaves an experience glass cutter, with in-depth knowledge of how it works.
We promise our classes are first class in the area.

The ancient art of Mosaics is traced back over 4,000 years to Mesopotamia! Mosaics is the art of arranging small colored pieces of hard material, such as stone, tile, or glass. These materials are proven to withstand time. Venture to historic cities like Rome and Athens and you can still walk across the same mosaic flooring from thousands of years ago!
​
The Mosaic Classes at The Glass Bar are committed to keeping the art of Mosiacs alive! Our trusted instructor, Wendy Birchmire, has been working in mosaics for over 10 years, and is ready to share her technique!

Join us as we explore the ancient art of Mosaics. In this class, students will work to embellish a picture frame with precut glass and other materials such as tiles, penny rounds, and beads.

Wendy will challenge students to create a frame that they are proud of! They will learn how to use glass nippers to shape pre-cut pieces of glass. Using this technique, they will work to design a picture frame that they can keep or give as a gift. Who doesn’t have a photograph that could use a unique frame? The glue used needs at least 24 hours to dry before grouting. Students will watch a demonstration of the grouting technique in class and then be sent home with detailed instructions and all the necessary supplies to complete their work.
