Feel the joy of finding the perfect color of flowers and skip the pain of having them wilt and decay in a few weeks with these fused glass blooms. In this class, you will use glass fusing methods to create a set of five fanciful flowers (approx. 4 in in diameter) that will brighten your space forever. You will learn how to cut glass flower shapes, and then use enamel paint, glass frit, and stringer to embellish them. A variety of transparent glass colors will be available for you to choose from. After class, your instructor will fuse and slump each piece to create a sculptural bloom and mount them on a copper stem. Completed flowers may be picked up the next week. Flowers are suitable for interior or exterior use.
