Registration Closes on January 7, 2027
Thursday Evening Session, All Levels Class
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!
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).

Note: Please do not bring outside scrap glass to class, we only use COE 96 glass and cannot guarantee the glass you purchased elsewhere is the right coefficient for our firing schedule. COE 90 or non-fusing glass will contaminate our work space and cause problems if it gets into our scrap glass that is for sale.
