Glass Fusing Fun!

Let's party with our glass cutters!

Gather your friends for a night of fusing fun! Learn about the fundamentals of glass cutting and fusing, how to use a kiln and create beautiful art pieces while enjoying a night with friends. 

Students will create a 5" plate, a pair of earrings and 2 pendants, each using different materials such as frit, stringers, dichroic and irridized glass. They will also learn how to load their work into the kiln, program it and begin the fusing process. The class Includes use of all materials, including glass and tools necessary to create your masterpieces as well as kiln fusing time & handouts. Later, students can return for a short class to glue bails on their pendants and create post or hook earrings. (or Kath can do it for you)

To book a class, please email me with your name and phone number, kpartworx@gmail.com. We'll find a time that works for both of us!

(classes are small - 6 people max - to ensure students receive individual attention and lots of space to create.)

Create a Day of the Dead Skull

Celebrate Halloween and Day of the Dead with a beautifully decorated skull.

On November 1 and 2 in Mexico and throughout the U.S., The Dia de los Meurtas (Day of the Dead) skull is used to celebrate and remember those who have passed on. People go to cemeteries to be with their departed and decorate their homes and graves with these skulls, along with favorite foods and flowers. Some believe the skulls and other Day of the Dead items bring good luck.

Join artist Kath Piros, as we paint (with paint pens), glitter and bling up a skull mask during the workshop.

Cost: $15 which includes all of the materials!
