Service Description

Looking for a fun and unique holiday workshop? Look no further and join local artists and instructors Susan Smith and Ginger Hinchcliff, in our Fused Glass: Snow Globe workshop. In this advanced level workshop, students will build on the knowledge and skills previously learned in the Introduction to Fused Glass and intermediate level workshops to create a colorful snow globe nightlight using fused glass, stringers, dots, and dichroic glass. Instructor Susan Smith will teach class participants more advanced glass cutting and layering skills, as well as tips and techniques for bringing their design or scene to "life." During this workshop, students will have the opportunity to share with their fellow classmates the inspiration for the nightlight, as well as sharing holiday stories and related experiences, all in a safe and welcoming environment. While this advanced level workshop will focus heavily on the techniques and skills required for more advanced glass fusing, instructors Susan Smith and Ginger Hinchcliff will also encourage class participants to create a snow globe nightlight (or ornament) that has personal significance as far as colors, designs, and symbols. At the end of the workshop, students will have the opportunity to share their experience with glass fusing as an art form and reflect on what they have learned with their fellow classmates. Leave with a more detailed understanding of the intricacies of fused glass as an art form, as well as the perfect nightlight that is sure to light up your holiday season! Ages 16+ This is an advance level workshop and may only be taken once. You may only register for this class if you have taken the Introduction to Fused Glass workshop and one Intermediate level workshop, previously held at Art & Connection. No exceptions, please. Class participants should come to class prepared with an idea, picture, or design for their snow globe nightlight. Fired pieces will be available for pickup one week after the completion of the class.
