Glass Fusing & Slumping Techniques

Join the Fun and Learn To Fuse!

Vicki takes you step-by-step through your first two fusing projects with easy to understand, uncomplicated instructions. This is your opportunity to explore the basics of this fun hobby. You will learn how to work with the new fusing compatible glass products to create two beginner projects.

Your first project is a set of glass tile coasters. You will learn how to select your first kiln, how to set up your work area and how to master basic glass cutting techniques. You will have fun creating your first design, getting it ready to fire, loading the kiln and completing the firing and annealing process.

Your second project, a glass vase, will help you take your fusing knowledge to the next level by learning how to slump glass into various shapes. You will be introduced to a larger sized kiln and its operating procedures. Learn how to select and work with glass slumping molds, both clay and metal, and how to prepare them for firing. Advanced glass cutting techniques show you how to use a glass circle cutter to create perfect rounds every time. You will discover the fun of working with stringers, frits and other precut shapes.
