"Fused Glass Lanterns"
Fused Glass with Gail Frick
Saturday, October 23, 2021
9am - Noon
Cost: TVAL Member $75
          Non-TVAL Member $85
Gail Frick is back for another lesson in kiln-formed glass -- this time attendees will be creating a fused glass lantern!

Come learn the art of fused glass. Students will learn about designing, cutting and building a glass project. Additionally participants will gain an understanding of the physics of glass. Their pieces will be fired, slumped and finished for them to enjoy.

Kiln formed glass is an art form where separate pieces of glass are subjected to high heat (1200 F to 1600 F) to “fuse” the pieces together. In this class students will be creating Garden Gnomes. These “Gnomes” can be displayed outside in your garden or inside next to your potted plants.
