Class: Ornaments in Kiln-Glass

Start a new holiday tradition and make your own unique, handmade glass ornaments. In this two and a half hour workshop, we’ll cover several styles of ornaments and the kilnforming techniques used to create them, including the use of textured design elements like candle-bent stringer, the special effects created by adding silver foil, and the heat transformation that takes pieces of sheet glass from square to round. You’ll then have studio time and access to a broad palette of materials to create nine ready-to-string ornaments of your choosing. Your work will be fired after class and ready for tree trimming or gift giving a few days later.
