Explore the expressive possibilities of glass in this hands-on workshop focused on the freeze-and-fuse technique. Participants will create small fused glass sculptures using colored glass powders and silicone molds inspired by natural forms such as flowers, shells, crystals, and succulents.
Working directly with vibrant glass powders, students will learn how to fill, layer, and shape materials by hand, building simple yet striking compositions of color, pattern, and texture inside each mold. Through this process, each piece takes form before being frozen, de-molded, and kiln-fired, allowing the powdered glass to transform into solid, dimensional glass.
Throughout the class, students will gain an understanding of how to properly work with glass powders and slurry, including techniques for creating visual depth and controlling composition within mold-based forms. A kiln schedule will be shared so participants can follow the full transformation process from raw material to finished object.
No prior experience is necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to experiment with color and form. Finished pieces will be available for pickup after firing.
