Fused Glass Demonstration and Workshop
Join Tes for a fun hands-on demonstration exploring the art of fused glass on Saturday, June 27th, 10:00 AM – Noon at her home studio. Address included with payment page. Please note, space is limited.
This demonstration and workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of working with glass. You'll learn proper techniques for scoring and cutting glass safely using basic tools, explore the basics of fusing glass and understand key kiln temperatures and firing schedules needed to achieve strong, beautiful results.
After the demonstration, students will have dedicated time to design and create their own glass pendants or suncatchers. Using colorful compatible glass sheets, you'll cut shapes, layer designs, and prepare your pieces for firing in the kiln. Finished pieces will be available for pickup after the cooling cycle is complete (typically within a day or two).
Safety Requirements: For your protection, please wear closed-toe shoes. Students should also bring an apron, gloves, and safety glasses if you have them. All necessary tools and materials will be provided, but proper attire helps ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

I started my own artistic adventure on a visit to my Grandmother's home. She taught me how to quilt. It would be a constant joy in my life until 2007 when I went to the Las Vegas Glass and Bead show. There, I discovered the magic of metal clay and fused glass art! As an artist, entrepreneur, and instructor, it is my mission to share the knowledge and skills attained throughout my life. I currently teach a variety of classes in Omaha, Nebraska from my home studio.
Fees are affordable, classroom is bright and clean. Bring your friends and have fun creating art you'll be proud to give or keep.
You should know my studio is shared with both cats and dogs, if that is a concern for you, it may be possible to arrange to hold the class at an alternate location, such as your home studio.
