This 3-session introductory course is designed to show you how to get the most out of using a rented space (our Glass Academy here at Stained Glass Express). You will learn how to use our space, how to find tools and materials you need, how to get your projects fired just how you want them, and what to expect from glass in the kiln! At the end of 3 weeks, you will be prepared to work independently on whatever beginner projects you choose.
During the class, you will make 3 projects (more if you have time and interest) to learn three basic types of things you can do in the kiln. We'll provide all the glass for the first two projects, and then you'll shop in the store (field trip!) for a piece of glass for the third project (you could spend anywhere from $8-25).
1. An 18x5" striped bread platter (in your choice of colors from our "leftover" pile!)
2. An 8x12" dish with decoration.
3. Whatever you can get out of one 12x12" piece of glass! Four six inch dishes, two 6x12s, etc. Experiment with different types of designs.
