CRAFTS & SKILLS
INTRODUCTION TO
GLASS FUSING
Michel L’Huillier, Instructor
Glass fusing involves permanently binding different
pieces of glass at high temperature in a kiln. Using
the extensive color palette from the Bullseye Glass
Company, and through a series of fun exercises, you
will discover the basics of glass fusing. In the first class,
you will learn about tack-fusing and how to use stencils
with glass powders and frits. In the second class, you
will learn to make a ceramic fiber mold to create a ¼”
thick relief tile with tinted glass float glass, and also
create a fused 8” by 8” bowl or plate. Student creations
will then be fused in the kiln after the class; fused
items from the second class can be picked up at the
Community Education office in the school administration
building beginning Monday, April 9. A materials fee of
$85 is payable to the instructor for all the tools and the
selection of glasses. Students should bring a sketchpad
and safety glasses to class, and be sure to wear closetoed
shoes. Though the class will teach the basics of
glass fusing, it is open to those with experience as well.
High school students are welcome too! Limited to 10.
