Learn about the materials used in fusing and how to clean and assemble them.  You will also learn a basic firing schedule for a small project fired in a small kiln, and about the changing properties of glass as it heats and cools.  You will also learn how to use a straight edge cutter and some basic hand cutting techniques. You will have time to make one large square or rectangular project (7x7” candy dish bowl, 8x8”/10x10”/12x12” shallow square slumper plate, or 6x13”/7x14” platter.)  Left over glass can be used to make a 3x3” jewelry dish, 3.5x3.5” ginger plate, or 4x4” coaster.  Expect to spend $15-$40 on materials.
