Fusing glass is the process of melting pieces of glass together in a kiln to create a solid, single piece of glass. This process can be used to create various objects such as bowls, vases, and sculptures.

Fused glass can be created using different techniques, including adding colour, texture, and design using materials like glass stringers.

The fusing process involves controlling the temperature and time in the kiln to achieve the desired result.

Glass optics fusing with stringers is a technique in which thin threads of fusible glass known as stringers are fused together to create unique patterns in fused glass creations. This technique uses volume control and displacement to physically change the shape of lines, creating an appearance like a graph of harmonic waves.

The class teaches how to distort a linear pattern of stringers into a repeatable and intentional pattern, and how the chemicals in glass can react together to add interest and patterns in the final fused creation. The class aims to expand the knowledge of fusing enthusiasts and beginners a like and allows for the creation of a 15cm x 15cm glass bowl using a variety of colours of glass and stringers.

All materials and equipment are provided, and the workshop lasts for three hours.

During the workshop, we will look at some samples of work that can be produced and discuss patterns, colour combinations, and the effects of glass reactions. After, we will cut the stringers and arrange them on the tile to go into the kiln for an overnight firing.

The pieces will be ready and posted to you after the class.
