      <title>Thursday: All Levels Class with Rachel Dlugos (11/05/2026)</title>

&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style=""&gt;Thursday Evening Session, All Levels Class&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/resources/rdlugos_glassfusing.jpg" title="Beginner to Intermediate projects with Bud Spindt.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Thursday: All Levels Class with Rachel Dlugos (11/12/2026)</title>

&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style=""&gt;Thursday Evening Session, All Levels Class&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/resources/rdlugos_glassfusing.jpg" title="Beginner to Intermediate projects with Bud Spindt.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Thursday: All Levels Class with Rachel Dlugos (11/19/2026)</title>

&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style=""&gt;Thursday Evening Session, All Levels Class&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Thursday: All Levels Class with Rachel Dlugos (12/03/2026)</title>

&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style=""&gt;Thursday Evening Session, All Levels Class&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Thursday: All Levels Class with Rachel Dlugos (01/14/2027)</title>

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style=""&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#212529" style=""&gt;GFC Potluck &amp;amp; Annual Meeting:&amp;nbsp; Saturday, January 23, 2027 from 5:00 - 8:00 PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#252525" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/resources/assets/WebGraphics/img-1.jpg" title="Board members at one of the potluck and cleanup studio space" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/resources/assets/WebGraphics/img-1.jpg" alt="Board members at one of the potluck and cleanup studio space" border="0" width="300" height="225" align="left" style="margin: 0px 15px 5px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;All GFC members and their guests/family members are welcome. We will eat, share our works, and then have our annual meeting!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"&gt;We encourage everyone to bring a piece to show and tell, we don't always get to see everyone in one spot together.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Temple's Dietary Restrictions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"&gt;&lt;font color="#252525" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please note, the Temple requires that we do not bring certain foods to our events. Acceptable meats include beef, lamb and goat. They have split hooves and chew their cud. Basically vegetarians. They should not be mixed or served with dairy as in no cheese burgers or meat lasagne.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#252525" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chicken, duck, goose and turkey are also counted as acceptable meat fair. The orthodox would also shun having dairy with them at the same time, however we are a reform temple and it’s a grey area since they don’t nourish their young with mothers milk.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#252525" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Fish need to have fins and scales (when living not when serving) so no shellfish or mollusks, but can be served with dairy or meat as can anything with eggs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#252525" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Overall no predators or scavengers. No pigs, they eat unclean foods so are considered unclean. If you plan to get Chinese carry out, please do not bring char siu and kau yuk, etc…. As well as shrimp and squid, etc…&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"&gt;&lt;font color="#252525" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;All fruit and vegetables ok.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"&gt;Please contact Tuyet Nguyen with any questions&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:tuyet1313@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;tuyet1313@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"&gt;Temple Emanu-El, 2500 Pali Hwy., Honolulu, HI 96817&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;(Turn Left onto Jack Lane from Pali Hwy., and make your first left into the parking lot).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Thursday: All Levels Class with Rachel Dlugos (01/28/2027)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;em style=""&gt;Registration Closes on January 7, 2027&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style=""&gt;Thursday Evening Session, All Levels Class&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/resources/rdlugos_glassfusing.jpg" title="Beginner to Intermediate projects with Bud Spindt.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;New students, your registration includes a small sampling of COE 96 glass colors and one sheet of clear glass to practice with, and a 12" x 12" sheet of shelf paper.

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Thursday: All Levels Class with Rachel Dlugos (02/04/2027)</title>

&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style=""&gt;Thursday Evening Session, All Levels Class&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;New students, your registration includes a small sampling of COE 96 glass colors and one sheet of clear glass to practice with, and a 12" x 12" sheet of shelf paper.

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Thursday: All Levels Class with Rachel Dlugos (02/11/2027)</title>

&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style=""&gt;Thursday Evening Session, All Levels Class&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;New students, your registration includes a small sampling of COE 96 glass colors and one sheet of clear glass to practice with, and a 12" x 12" sheet of shelf paper. Returning students, are able to purchase the starter pack for an additional $45 (Returning students: click "add starter pack" on the registration page if you want add this to your registration total).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style=""&gt;Thursday Evening Session, All Levels Class&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Join Master Artist Bud Spindt for the Wednesday morning &lt;em style=""&gt;All Levels Class&lt;/em&gt;! Bud instructs beginner and intermediate students on glass fusing techniques while introducing tools used to accomplish your work. Bud structures his class where you bring a project idea, or have something in mind, and he helps you learn from start to finish how to fuse glass.&amp;nbsp;Advanced students benefit from Bud's knowledge and experience, and it's just plain fun to be with other artists!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Thursday: All Levels Class with Rachel Dlugos (02/25/2027)</title>

&lt;p style="font-size: 16.0016px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style=""&gt;Thursday Evening Session, All Levels Class&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art!

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you've ever wanted to work with glass but didn't know where to start, this is the class for you! Over ten weeks you'll build a real foundation in the craft — learning to cut and assemble glass, load the kiln, read firing schedules, and finish your work — with an emphasis on craftsmanship and technical skill so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you come in with a project idea already in mind or need help finding your direction, you'll leave with finished pieces you're proud of. There’s no experience necessary, and repeat students are encouraged - there is always something new to learn!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Independent Studio is open to people that have taken at least 2 instructional classes with one of our instructors, or if you are experienced in glass fusing and would like an exception, &lt;a href="https://www.glassfusioncollective.com/fusedglass808@gmail.com?=subject%3A%20Requesting%20Exception%20to%20Enroll%20in%20Independent%20Studio" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;please email&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; us a request to join Independent Studio. Each studio session offers you a community to collaborate and share in the joy of fusing glass and making art! There is a studio monitor there to show people where studio equipment can be found, and to make sure the studio is tidy before everyone leaves. &lt;em&gt;This studio monitor is not an instructor!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
