CLASS DESCRIPTIONS STAINED GLASS Beginners:  Make 1 project of 15 pieces or less learning all the steps of the copper foil method. Try Great Glass Galore tools the 1st week, then purchase or rent tools by the 2nd week. Non-Beginners:  Learn the lead came method or fine tune your skills by working on whatever you want at your own pace. FUSING Beginners: Learn about the basic firing temperatures of glass, the materials used for fusing, and how to put the materials together.  Non-Beginners: Learn more details about firing schedules, setting up their own kiln, kiln wash, molds & fiber papers, or just work on projects.   All students will get to make one or more bowls, plates, tiles, clocks, belt buckles, jewelry and more.  The firing fee for all your projects are included in the class fee, but expect to spend $40-$80 on materials.  Glass cutting skills are recommended, but not required.  Ask about scheduling an optional 1.25 hour glass cutting workshop (cost $18).  PROJECT IN A DAY FUSED GLASS ORNAMENTS:  Cut and assemble 4 glass ornaments that the instructor will fire in the kiln.  Expect to spend $22-$60 ($5-6/ornament plus the cost of optional dichroic glass) on fusing supplies.  No fusing or glass experience required. MOSAIC POT:  Learn mosaic skills by painting your pot, cutting glass into squares/triangles, and gluing them to a pattern on your pot.  Start gluing your pieces on in class and finish at home.  Come in on your own time for 1 hour to grout your pot.  The pot, glue, and grout are include in the class fee.  Expect to spend $22 on mosaic cutters and around $10 on glass. SENSATIONAL SNOWFLAKES:  Cut, foil, solder and assemble a snowflake using glass, bevels, and globs.  Students without any glass experience will pick a snowflake that needs no cutting, and will learn how to foil and solder them.  Expect to spend $15-$60 on materials.  These make great holiday gifts!  Learn how to make one, and make many more at home by yourself. STEPPING STONES:  Make an 8x8" square stone using a precut glass kit and a quick drying cement called DiamondCrete (DC).  Pick out your glass kit and color of DC at least 3 weeks ahead of class to guarantee your choice.  Expect to spend ~$38 on the mold, DC, and glass kit.  You keep the mold to make more at home.  No experience required.
