INTERMEDIATE LEVEL

Must be able to design and create simple projects with minimal guidance & trained on all studio equipment. Fusers are learning about special firing programs.

This will be a repeat of the December class.
We will be creating a fused starburst bowl or planter.

You will need 2 sheets of 12x12” clear glass and scrap strips of whatever colour you want your accent pieces to be.
Check your coloured pieces on their edge. If they look dark or clear on edge, they will not show up well in your bowl. You want the colours to be vibrant.
You will need to cut 1 1/2 sheets of your clear glass into 3/4" strips ahead of class. The strips do not have to be precise.
Please bring liquid hairspray -you will be using it as a spray so you will need a pump bottle of hairspray.
You will need nippers.
You will build your project on top of firing paper that will be provided at the class.
If you have a lazy susan - bring it with you. It's not necessary but does make it easier.
We are suggesting slumping on to mold RO34 which is a 12” circle, but RO24 and RO27 which are slightly smaller would also work. You will need to decide before class which one you will be using.

General supplies to bring to class:
* Glass cutting tools: Toyo Cutter, Running Pliers, Grozers, Nippers, Cutting Surface (Quilt-type mats work best)
* Glues: Elmer’s (clear or white), Needle nosed bottle with non-aerosol hairspray
* Writing Tools: Black Sharpies (fine and regular), Pen & Pencil
