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 individual is calm and confident before we move on.

Then, we work with you to find inspiration for your project.

We want you feel the excitement of exploring a new art form.

We encourage each individual to test their imagination to find a design that suits them.

At this point, You might be wondering what is glass draping and slumping.

We will discuss these processes in depth during class.

For now, glass draping and slumping are two different processes used to create organically shaped glass bowls and vessels.

You will create a beautiful draped glass bowl that you will love.

During this class you will learn glass safety, so you can feel calm and confident when working with glass.

Next we will jump into designing.

We encourage you to brain storm ideas before class, to leave as much time for working.

We have a selection of pattern books and many pictures of previous works to aid you in your inspiration.

Once you have created a design that you love, the instructor will aid you in bringing it to life.

You will pick through many pieces of glass to create your masterpiece.

We will then move on to the final touches, finalizing your design and prep the pieces for the kiln.
